A turban is a kind of head-wear based on cloth winding. There are many varieties of turban, and it is the custom to be worn by men, although women around the world wear turbans as well. Communities with traditions of turban-wearing can be found in Asia, and parts of Africa and the Middle East. There are many different colors, with the orange turban being the most popular.
There are a multitude of reasons people wear turbans. Some wear them for religious or cultural reasons, while others just want to be fashionable. It is very common for people of the Sikh faith to wear this type of head-wear. Various colors have different meanings; however, the reason a Sikh chooses to wear a specific turban color is usually personal choice.
Sikhism has a code of conduct that all members are required to follow. Sikhs are meant to keep their hair in a natural and unshorn state, which honors the creative process intended by the Creator. Sikhs therefore wear turbans to keep their hair untangled and free from pollutants. Sikh men are required to wear a turban, while women may choose to wear a traditional headscarf instead. The Sikh religion does not specify that a particular color must be worn, and Sikhs may choose any color they desire.
Turbans are generally only removed at bath and bedtime. When removed, it is done so carefully so that it does not touch the floor. It is then cleaned and folded neatly to prepare it for the next use. The daily routine of a Sikh includes the keeping the hair neat and clean (either rinsing the hair with water or shampooing it). Many Sikhs wash their hair before morning meditation.
Both men and women may choose to coordinate their hair coverings with whatever they are wearing for that day. For women, headscarves may be a single solid color or have several different colors. Many are embellished with embroidered decor.
While there is no rule that Sikhs must have a solid color of head-wear, most do choose the same color on a daily basis out of ease and personal preference. Blue and black are common colors as they are easier to match with daily wear.
More traditional Sikhs can choose from colors that have special meaning in their culture. These colors are often worn by people of an older generation, and those who have had a more traditional upbringing. The significance of these colors varies.
The color orange is representative of wisdom and courage, and royal blue is usually worn by those who are learned in the Sikh religion. Orange and blue are traditional colors of the Sikh religion. Some Sikhs generally wear only these two colors for their turbans and clothes. Red is commonly worn at weddings and other celebratory events. Two other commonly worn colors are white, which represents purity, and black, representing humility.
While there are many styles and colors available, the orange turban is perhaps the most popular of all colors. This is because orange represents knowledge and courage, which are important qualities in the Sikh faith. This significance makes orange a common color staple in a Sikh's wardrobe.
