Is this an unusual turban or what!? This sardar definitely took the time to sculpt this turban into a towering masterpiece! I remember during my school days in Mussoorie, India there was a group of Sikhs kids from Thailand. Some of them had some interesting methods of sculpting turbans into different shapes using plastic, pins, starch and other materials. Even having see-through cloth and shiny plastic behind, which made the turban shine and sparkle a bit. I love seeing how in each country there are different styles of Turbans. Such a flavor! It would be cool to document/catalog this into one place that you could see some of the turban styles of the world.
Do you tie a unique looking turban or know someone who does? Please send a picture my way if you do :)

Would be an excellent candidate for Carnival display if he dyes his beard and moustaches with color shades on his cheera.

That turban is but a Kenyan one. The Kenyan turban is by far an elegant one (I know many Sikhs will differ on that, but that’s what makes the Kenyan turban unique to Africa). I found this image both amusing and strange . . . what was the idea behind it? Maybe he’s found a way to store his ‘Khalsameter’ (slaai)! Nice one, though. Where did you find that image from, Gurumustuk Singh Ji?
I found this picture through flickr…through facebook…and contact the person on facebook who said he got it somewhere on the internet and he is not even sure if it is a Kenyan person. In any case it is an unusual turban and quite colorfull :)
I didnt understand the article, mentioning Kenyans. But it seems as though that someone is making fun of people from Kenya!
Kala Singha: no one is making fun of Kenyans. This turban was posted because it was unique and I was merely comparing it to a beatiful flower.
Life has got to be interesting….! Although the turban exhibits a very colourful and exotic appearance, I very much doubt it is from Kenya. Many would compare it (the turban)to a flower of paradise or some to the horns of Rhinocerous and some to the horn headed (Rhinocerous)chameleon.
No offense! After all there are punks who have their matted hair super glued to form spiky cones/horns and some people go as far as implanting horns permanently into their skulls.So nothing wrong here.
I’m sure no pun was intended on Kenya or Kenyan Sikhs. Enjoy the picture, guys! ;)
Simply amazing….turban….!
PROUD SIKH is very fond of unique turbans…and this just made my day !
Thank you finding such a great turban…Gurumustuk Singh this is an art piece…
I’ve often wondered why turbans are usually such dull colours. My Dad wore fluorescent colours and patterned cloth until he died at age 97 in 1982. This looks like something he would have worn.
I think it could be a fake,photoshoped!
has anyone thought of the health and safety issues associated with sporting such a garment on ones head?
I believe that takes skill not everyone can tie something like that.
To my friend “Sukhwinder Singh Sukha” stand in a room alone and say what you have just written out loud, purpose of that would be so that you can understand what you have just written down. It appears his Turban or Dastaar is only a few wraps and the last wrap seems to have been extended to form a point. How in world will that affect his health!? And in terms of safety is he going to poke someone’s eye out? I don’t think it would affect his or anyone else’s safety unless he ran full speed like a bull; with his head down into someone or something. Look at Nihang Singhs who have all these items in their turban is that not a risk? I think not. Don’t mean to offend anyone just my two cents.
