The Development Of The Blue Turban As A Trendy Item

By Sue Carpenter


Turbans were and will be part of the world history. Along the years, turbans have helped people recognize different cultures and religions until more recently when they have become a fashionable item. Those who have been in the army know that the use of turbans is very common for those who have to spend time in the desert to protect themselves of the harsh environment. A blue turban is not just that as it played a major role in the history of certain areas of the world.

Not long ago, an Indian male appeared on a photo in the local newspaper. This happened because he had tied one of the longest ones around his head. This unusual event took place at the Maghi Mela festival where Nihang gather together to celebrate their culture. When the Nihang first appeared, people used that word to describe them as fierce crocodiles that wanted to be distinguished by their headgears.

A short time ago, a magazine published a photograph of an Indian man who had tied a three hundred meter turban around his head. This was part of a ritual in the festival Maghi Mela that is very popular amongst Nihang. These warriors are called Nihang because that's the word for crocodile. Since the Nihang are as ruthless as the animal, this is the best way to describe them.

Throughout history Nihang have been skillful fighters that could defeat their enemies even in the worst conditions, which shows why people still have such strong believes. Although fighting is no longer pat of their lives, they continue to keep this custom. Apart from that, this custom is also kept in memory of those who lost their lives in the Battle of Khidrana.

The fighting technique of the Nihang is also known as Gatka. Nihang wore these headgears but complemented their outfits with hidden swords. Nihang supporters had to be skilled in the art of using swords and daggers.

Nowadays, the turban is not used with the same purpose as it was used in the past. Some civilizations consider turbans of any color a necessary item for fashionable women. There are a few men who still wear turbans not only for cultural causes but also to look like the army men of the past. Some theories state that these headgears have been related to a prophecy made by Nostradamus but this has never been proved.

There are a lot of African civilizations that don't regard the color of turbans as an important matter. Most of the times, women are the ones who wear them and they have the ability to create amazing designs and patterns for their turbans. Back in the days of the Nihang and more recently in the Punjab areas, turbans are still an important aspect of their lives to show their believes.

The blue turban is an item that has been and will be around for centuries and the reasons for this are many. However, it's important why you decide to wear it because you need to make sure that you are aware of its origin as well as the importance for your culture. These headgears will be around for years to come.
