Sikhs wear the turbans as a religious practice. They don't usually cut their hair hence they have long beards and wear the kind of turban called a 'pagri' to protect their hair from dust and to cover them up so they wont flash on their face while working.

What is Sikhism reknown for?

Sikhs worldwide have integrated into many cultures and countries. They are renowned for the boys and men having unshawn hair and wearing turbans and beards. The last living Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, directed the males to grow their hair and wear the turban to identify them as a Sikh. This meant that everyone could not call themselves a Sikh nor was it an automatic religion from birth.


Who wears a turban?

In the Western countries (United States, England, Australia, and Canada), the people that wear turbans are Sikhs. There are two types of turbans that Sikhs wear: Dastar and Patka. The patka is what Sikh male teenagers wear. The Patka is not actually a turban, but it serves the same purpose as the dastar. The dastar is the large turban that Sikh male adults wear to keep their uncut hair inside. Men in the Middle East also wear turbans. There are two kinds of turbans in the Middle East: Amamah and Keffiyeh. The Keffiyeh is not technically a turban, but it serves the same purpose as an Amamah (turban), to keep your head cool from the extreme heat. The Keffiyeh is also a pice of cloth tied to your head, but with different material and way of tying. The Sikh turbans are peaked and of various colors. The Middle Eastern turbans are White, Black, or Green.


What sign shows you belong to the Jewish religion?

There is no sign that shows you belong to any religion - all Christians don't wear crosses, all Jews don't wear a Magen David, and Atheists don't wear a scarlet letter A. Similarly no "appearance" issues can identify adherents to a religion - Sikhs don't all have beards and turbans, Buddhists don't all talk like fortune cookies.
