Kara symbolizes restrain from evil deeds. Wearing it on the right hand, as a disciple of the Guru Granth Sahib ji, the wearer should not do anything which may bring shame or disgrace. Thus Kara acts as a reminder to think twice before doing anything evil with hands.

A kara should be made of Sarbloh, not steel or gold.

btw. whats everyones views on karas with designs and writing on them.
