Another Super Nihang Turban

Sharanjit Singh from Prince Rupert, BC, Canada just sent SikhNet this picture that he took in Anandpur Sahib of a Nihang Singh with a really tall turban. The turban that Major Singh tied was really wide...and this one is so tall! You have to to wonder how long and how many people it took to tie these turbans. I don't think it is possible to do this by yourself.

    I know, I noticed the same thing!

    I was going to add it to RateMyTurban.com but we are in the process of moving the website to a new server. When it is back up I will add it.

    This is great. Notice the neat layers that are clearly visible. I would send this to rate my turban.

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

    I love these tall turbans. I wish I knew how to tie one too.

    A lot of young Sikhs get into doubts and it is very common. It is not good to keep the doubts. There are a lot of misunderstandings going on. If anyone has a misundertanding, brother/sister can contact me at mannharm66@hotmail.com

    I will try my best to remove the doubt.

    To the author of:

    Nihang Singh's during war were known for there large turbans. Also during battle the bigger the turban the better. Provides protection for the head. Nihang Singh's are Guru Gobind Singh Ji's 'Ladali Fauj'. I'm not sure about the correct word for Ladali in english but those who know punjabi must know what I'm on about.
