The Sikh Turban (Dastar or Pagṛi)

A Dastar or Pagṛi is a mandatory headgear for Sikhs. Dastar is closely linked with Sikhism and is an essential part of the Sikh culture. Wearing a Sikh turban is mandatory for all Amritdhari (baptized) Sikhs (also known as Khalsa).

The turban is our Guru's present to us. It is how we crown ourselves as the Singhs and Kaurs who sit on the throne of promise to our own higher realization. For men and women alike, this protective self conveys royalty, beauty, and uniqueness. It is a sign to others that we live in the picture of Infinity and are dedicated to serving all. The turban doesn't represent anything except complete promise. When you choose to stand out by tying your turban, you stand fearlessly as one single person standing out from six billion people. It is a most wonderful act.

The gorgeous dastaar ... How I envy those who wear it. specially those Sikhs who are ambassador for the panth. I don't mean the ones who drink alcohol and smoke and appear Sikhs outwardly. I am a very proud Punjabi, but on s faith level I shine with pride when I see a well dressed turbaned Sardar or Sardarni. What I find ironical is how we as Indians are often told Whites and Pakistanis are the enemy. The latter are so with us re Punjabi culture. And the former we have sullied too long.

"For a Sikh, there is no restriction or requirement as to dress except that he [or she] must wear Kachhehra [a drawer type of garment] and turban. A Sikh woman may or may not tie a turban.” [Panth approved “Sikh Rehat Maryada - The Code of Sikh Conduct & Conventions"
