  • Sikh men commonly wear a peaked turban that serves partly to cover their long hair, which is never cut out of respect for God's creation. Devout Sikhs also do not cut their beards, so many Sikh men comb out their facial hair and then twist and tuck it up into their turbans along with the hair from their heads. Sikhism originated in northern India and Pakistan in the 15th century and is one of the youngest of the world's monotheistic religions.Hindu men wont wear turbans..Wearing a turban is one of five symbols that define Sikhs. Kesh - uncut hair covered by a turban; Kirpan - a small sword raised only in defense; Kara - a metal bracelet that is a reminder of the Sikh's responsibility to faith; Kanga - a comb that serves as a reminder to always be neat; and Kaccha - special underwear that is a reminder of a Sikh's responsibility to family. The dastaar, as the Sikh turban is known, is an article of faith that has been made mandatory by the founders of Sikhism. It is not to be regarded as mere cultural paraphernalia. When a Sikh man or woman dons a turban, the turban ceases to be just a piece of cloth and becomes one and the same with the Sikh's head. The turban as well as the other articles of faith worn by Sikhs have an immense spiritual as well as temporal significance. The symbolisms of wearing a turban are many from it being regarded as a symbol of sovereignty, dedication, self-respect, courage and piety but the reason all practicing Sikhs wear the turban is just one - out of love and obedience of the wishes of the founders of their faith. The turban's importance can be found in just about every culture and religion, starting with the ancient Babylonians to western religions such as Judiaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as eastern traditions. The Old Testament proclaims, "Once they enter the gates of the court", implying God's court, "they are to wear linen vestments. They shall wear linen turban." Elsewhere in the Old Testament, the significance of the turban is further highlighted: He put the turban upon his head and set the gold rosette as symbol of holy dedication on the front of the turban as the Lord had commanded him. Moses then took the anointing oil, anointed the Tabernacle, and all that was within it and consecrated it. (Leviticus 8,9) Set the turban on his head and the symbol of holy dedication on the turban. Take the anointing oil, pour it on his head and anoint him. (Exodus 29-6) The turban, since ancient times, has been of significant import in the Punjab, the land of the five rivers and the birthplace of Sikhism. There was a time when only kings, royalty, and those of high stature wore turbans. Two people would trade their turbans to show love or friendship towards each other
  • I think they have to wear turbans because theyre supposed to hide their head from god or something
  • Hindu men do not have to wear truban, but Sikh men have to. Sikhism is another religion which was created out of Hindu religion and have many different teachings than those of Hindu religion. Some Hindu men wear a small turban in special cermonies like marriages, funerals etc that is to show respect to God and position in family or society. Some Hindu placed in higher society wear turban when they go out, that is symbol of respect for them. When they have experienced some shameful thing in the family, they remove their truban as shame bestowed to their position. Hope this helps!
  • No Hindu's don't wear turbans. Sikh's do but sikhs aren't terrorist. They help the world. Their beifs are almost the same as the constitution of America like woman are equal and you are aloud to have weapons.
  • Yes and no. First of all, please understand that the majority of the people you see in the West in turbans are Sikhs, not Hindus. They are most often mistaken for Muslims. They are Sikhs. The Sikh religion is different than Hinduism, although it evolved from it. Secondly, there is no requirement for a Hindu to wear a turban on a day to day basis. Tradition and religious practice state that both men and women should have their heads covered during certain ceremonies (poojas). Thus, most Hindu men wear a turban during their engagement and marriage ceremonies. Some traditions have the head covered during other poojas, including the Rahki ceremony.
