Kangha: Difference between revisions

The Sikhs were commanded by Guru Gobind Singh to wear a small comb called a Kanga at all times. This was to allow the Sikh to care for their unshorn hair, Kesh. The kanga is usually tucked behind the "Rishi Knot" and tied under the turban. It is to be used twice daily to comb and keep the hair in a disentangled and tidy condition. It represents the importance of discipline to a Sikh way of life and is used to keep the hair healthy, clean, shining and tangle-free. The Kanga is tucked under the rishi knot to keep the rishi knot firm and in place.
