| | | | | | | my new website! untitled
please offer insight, is this a good idea or not?
The goal is to get sikh boys into LIKING to wear their patka, and to enjoy shopping, and wearing them - and get sikh boys who have cut kesh, into keeping it. *

| | | | | | | Re: my new website! I appreciate your efforts but patka looks good only for kids. Teenagers should atleast wear Dhumalla/Parna/Turban. Patka is a creation of Bishan Singh bedi ( Indian cricketer). In old days, small kids use to tie their juda with rumal or wear a parna/dhumala. Dhumalla is anyday a better option which Displays the image of Khalsa. Its easy to tie and looks far more better then "Patka".

It make sense for small kids but for teenagers Turban/Dhumalla or Parna is better option.
You should also try to tie a dhumalla if you are facing issues with Turban. With beard on your face, you will look more handsome with Dhumalla. its more comfy and easy to tie.

also, thank you for the info.
PS. i am a gora sikh and do not have much of a joora, so i prefer patka. I also assum sikhs whoa re growing back out their kesh will prefer patka over turban. |

for people who are growing hair, dhumalla is a better option, when you tie a keski underneath, you take a support of turban material which help you in wrapping your small amount of hair and then tie your dhumalla on top of the keski. If you want I an probably help you with Dhumalla videos and or we can have a web acam session.
No offense but If highschool guys are wearing a patka ( it doesn't make it right). we should rather stick to our maryada and display a Khalsa image.

I know that you are a "Gora" Sikh .. For me a Sikh is a Sikh, I don't divide them in Gora/Kala/Neela/Peela  but yeah I got your point!
Trust me if you need a help, I can help you out for sure! |

Trust me if you need a help, I can help you out for sure! | i'm going to have to agree... i think that once a boy gets facial hair, they should no longer wear a patka unless they're playing sports.
i also had short-ish hair when i started tying a dastaar, and as was described, wrapping the keski into your hair can actually make the joodha bigger and makes the dastaar hold in place better.
i think you'd look really handsome in a dumalla or gol type dastaar! (ya, i know i said that before.  ) YouTube - Turban Tying - Dhamala /Dumalla #2 |

| | | | | | | Re: my new website! I have added one new section today, and am currently working on a section about importance of kesh.
In the future, i would like to set up other sub-domains, for review of dastaar material, and kirpans. Anyone else can suggest topics they would like to see covered in the future, please let me know. |
