For years I have been getting people asking for videos on how to tie a turban. So, I finally got around to working on the project. There are so many different ways to tie a turban. Even one turban which is the same style can be tied with many different variations. I plan to put up a web page and start posting the videos that I am making (along with other people’s videos). So, in the end there will be quite a collection of styles. I mostly wanted to share our local flavor of the turban. Especially the women’s turbans which are not as common. So, stay tuned!

Here is one of the videos on tying a Dhamala. Himat Singh is the teacher for today.

Let me know what you think. It takes a lot of time to do this all and I am trying to keep things simple. I guess given my little free time I’m trying to at least get something up.

Sept 20th UPDATE:
I have finished the first pass of the turban tying tutorial page. You can now view all the videos on SikhNet at:

Here I am with Guru Darbar getting ready to record the next turban tying tutorial on a beautiful saturday morning.

The finished turban on Narayan. Cho-kute…

This is Narayan’s second “family”, on the other side of Espanola. Narayan normally has a “sleep over” at their house on the weekend. They are so great. Narayan loves them.
