Dastar
The Sikh turban, a long cloth wrapped around the head to cover uncut hair.
Also: turban, pagri, pag
The dastar is the turban worn by Sikhs to cover and protect the kesh. A long strip of cloth, often four to seven metres of fine cotton, is wrapped around the head over the joora in a set style. Styles and colours vary by region, family and occasion; saffron and blue have particular meaning. Turbans are also worn across South Asia, the Middle East and Africa by people of many faiths. Turban-tying competitions are held in Punjab.
