Basics About A Green Turban

By Cathy Mercer


A green turban is a head cover worn by people from different religious convictions for diverse reasons. They are known by various names in various places. For instance, in Pakistan and India these headgears are known as pagris. The other names include dastars, Punjabis, bulles, and paggs among several others. They were previously used in nations where most people were wearers, but now their use is universal.

The reasons of wearing the headbands are very diverse. Some of those reasons are personal such as is the case with most youngsters. Youngsters wear them for fashion purposes. Others especially elderly users wear turbans for purposes of fulfilling the requirements of their religion. The color of the bulle does not matter a lot in some cases even though each color holds a specific meaning.

Turbans serve as a unique identifier of Sikhs around the world. Sikhs take it as a religion obligation to wear and preserve dastars as a holy piece of cloth that deserves to be respected. Sikhs are expected by their religion to wear turbans from childhood till they age. Failure to do so may be treated with a lot of stigma from the society.

These headgears come in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and shapes according to the style a person intends to wrap them. The colors are varied and could be anything. Some have patterns and drawings whereas others have strips of various colors. Among the Indians, colors stand for the different religious, social, and political status of residents in the community. There are colors, which are preferred by business people, politicians, religious leaders, kids, and women among other groups of people.

The styles are also another diverse aspect of these headgears that vary a lot. There are styles for different occasions and people. Warriors for example have their own preserved style, which is specifically tied during times of war. Because of uniqueness of this style, warriors can be identified from other populations of people. Religious leaders, politicians, kids, initiated men, and elites have their styles too.

Individuals who are accustomed to wearing dastars find it hard to stay without one. Some feel naked without a turban. Due to such reasons, there have been several attempts to compel governments to realize turbans as crucial part of the lives of wearers. A good number of governments have reacted to the appeals by exempting turban wearers from certain laws. Among the laws they are exempted from include putting on helmets while riding or going to battlegrounds.

In Sikhism, members are not allowed to put on caps or other forms of headgears apart from dastars. The scriptures are against such act although some ignore it for fashion purposes. It is the duty of the Gurus to persuade their members to follow and obey the teachings of the scriptures at all times in pagg wearing religions.

Green turban is a beautiful headgear that is worn by people of different genders and age. It is available at low prices in local shops. One can have several of them so that they never fail to tie a bulle on their head.
