Basics About A Green Turban

By Margarita Joseph


Green turban is used by several individuals from different religions. As such, they go by different names. Names depend on the religious group and the place in question. Major religions, which need their followers to use dastars include Sikhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity in certain places. Among the names widely used include pug, pagri, bulle, and dastar.

Some countries like Afghanistan have made bulles part of the national wear. In such states, more than 95 percent of the citizens wear pagris and those who do not may be discriminated against by the community. Other states in which pagris are worn include India, Pakistan, Australia, the Americas, parts of Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Africa.

Turbans come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Each color may have a different distinct meaning apart from the general ones. Certain colors are also preferred more by certain age groups than others. Some of the colors include white, black, red, yellow, blue, gray, pink, brown, purple, and green. Others may have patterns, images, or a composite of colors. Religious leaders also have their own colors of preference.

Previously, dastars were mostly worn by men, but currently that has changed and the number of women and kids that use them has increased. The way males and females tie the bulles should be the same especially among the Sikhs because Sikhism encourages gender equality. Some women decide to tie plain scarves or tie the scarves on top of dastars. Kids have their own styles of tying the headwear.

There are many different meanings attached to pagris in different places. First, they are a sign of spirituality and holiness. Religious leaders among pug wearers are required to put on the headwear when out of duty or when presiding over religious ceremonies. The headwear is passed on to the incoming leader and that passage continues forever.

Dastar wearers believe in sustaining their hair highly hygienic and free of contaminants. For example, during the initiation of Sikh men, they consider the nectar sprayed on their hair as sacred. The oil makes the hair holy and it is upon the initiate to maintain it in that state. This could be ensured only by covering the hair with a bulle. Initiates are advised to keep away from the company of smokers because initiated hair must never get in touch with by cigarette or the smoke.

Other purposes the bulle serves include fashion. People wear them to match specific clothes with the headwear when going for functions. Wearers are also considered as responsible and people of high morals in the society. In places like India, different categories of people have their own types and styles. The people groups are divided into politicians, workers, and religious leaders.

A green turban is regarded with great respect among wearers. It aids individuals to easily identify with one another around the globe. This color shade may also be realized from far due to its shininess. It needs at least 2 individuals to wrap the headwear well although a single individual may still do it well.
