What To Know 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 states like Afghanistan have turned bulles into part of their national clothing. In such nations, more than ninety-five percent of the residents wear pugs and those who never may be stigmatized by the community. Other nations in which pugs are worn include Pakistan, Australia, India, the Americas, the Middle East, Europe, parts of Africa, and parts of Asia.

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 majorly worn by men, although currently that has highly changed and the total number of children and women that wears them has gone high. The way men and women tie the pagri should be same particularly among the Sikhs since Sikhism encourages equality in gender. Some ladies choose to tie scarves plainly or wrap scarves over bulles. Children have specific styles of wrapping the headgear.

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.

Turban wearers believe in keeping their hair clean and free from pollutants. For instance, when Sikh men are initiated, they believe the nectar that is poured on their heads to be holy. The oil makes their hair sacred and it is the responsibility of the initiate to keep it that way. This can only be ensured by wrapping a dastar over it. Initiates are also advised to avoid the company of cigarette smokers because their hair is not supposed to be touched by tobacco or its smoke.

The other function a bulle serves is fashion. People utilize them to match clothes with the turban when going for certain functions. Wearers are also regarded as responsible and individuals of good morals in the community. In states like India, different groups of people have their own designs, types, and styles. People groups there are split into religious leaders, workers, and politicians.

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.
