Hindu religious belief and tradition affiliate special reverence in knowing turban tying. In recognition of this custom, it is usually worn mostly by male Hindus. A sectarian identity of Hinduism is characterized in the distinctive way this garment is worn. Of the two methods of wearing it, the first method entails placing one end of the cloth hanging down the shoulder and holding the opposite end firmly at the forehead and then completing the winds in successive turns. After the windings are done, the wearing finishes at the back of head and is inserted up.
This process can furthermore be exercised over short hair. With lengthy hair, combing upwards is first done then hair is combed upwards. Long hair is not a necessity to have the tie up as the most important aspect will be the combing up the hair. Any kanga or comb is skidded into the bind to help holding the hair together.
Regarding the measurement of cloth, approximately 3 m x 50 cm is sufficient for a kid and around 6 m x 100 cm is for a mature individual. The choice of color is an individual taste, but it is recommended not to select dark colors that absorb heat. While washing, you can apply starch to make the fabric amply supple so that the wraps become smooth. Some people put on a head covering before winding the fabric.
An individual might not exactly have anyone to help them and so, they might use a reflector and begin by holding one end of material by the teeth. The clutch would ensure that it is prevented from falling away during the entire manipulation.
Wrap the cloth around head in an anticlockwise direction. As you wind each loop, check in the mirror ensuring the adornment gets a round shape. If you do not get the right shape, poor finishing will result as you continue further wraps over it.
You should continue following windings until the cloth cannot reach further around your head. As you reach this point, insert the remaining fabric at the back of your head. This cloth is compressed carefully to maintain the shape and pattern and not to make the grip feel too stiff for head.
Holding one side using the teeth, disperse the item gently over the rest of the bind-up minding that the cover is not too tight. The last part of the material should end up at the front of the head if well manipulated. The material then goes over the covering to the back and is then tucked up.
Children can follow the same procedure. Although adults can do the whole process without a helper, a minor trying it alone will not hold the cloth throughout the entire time. While the child uses the one end to wind it around his head, allow another child to hold the other end of the fabric. Such teamwork trains children on turban tying and develops reverence for this cultural tradition.
