Turban: Material wrapped around the cranium

Sikh's are famous for their distinctive turbans.


The turban represents respectability, and is a sign of nobility. Guru Gobind Singh gave all of his sikhs turbans to recognize the royal status of being Khalsa. A turbaned sikh stands out from the crowd and is easily recognizable. In times of distress there are some who give up their turbans to disappear among the masses and to conform to prevailing social beliefs. However, an enlightened sikh is one who stays true to himself and his Guru and keeps the turban.
