The Pag/Distar/Turban The
turban
has
been
a part
of all
cultures
from
the
western
religions
such
as Judaism
and
Christianity
as well
as eastern
traditions
and
Islam.
Although
the
turban
played
a largely
cultural
role
the
pag
plays
a bigger,
spiritual
role
in Sikhi. Below is a step by step guide of how to tie a Distar Step 1
Firstly you have to start by folding the Distar so that it is in a long rectangular narrow shape. Hold one end by the side of your left cheek and the first Larr goes around the back of the head and back around to the front. Step 2
As you can see the first Larr has gone around the head and back to the front and know you repeat this process. Step 3
Each time the Larr raps around your head you should leave a gap of about 1- 2 cm. Step 4
You can see the lines are about 1- 2 cm apart and the Larrs are rising on the right side and steping down on the left side. Step 5
For your last Larr you need top tuck the end of the Larr into the top of your Distar. (Which should look like the next picture). Step 6
Next, tug in all the loose material at the top of your Distar. Step 7
This part is a bit tricky so make sure you read this carefully. The first Larr that was held by the side of your face gets pulled to the back of your head. Then the first Larr is pulled up from the top that is why it starts high then goes low on the right side of the Distar. (Make sure you don't pull the top Larr all the way up otherwise you have to start again). Step 8
Step 8 is very simple, all you have to do is open up the Larr a little so that you can cover the top of your head. The final step is to tuck in the rest of the Larr at the back of your Distar. Step 9
This is the finished Distar! We hope yours looks like this if so you are doing great! To have a great looking Distar all you have to do is practise! Good Luck! |
