Why do Sikhs wear turban? and what is under the turban?

The turban is commonly associated with the Sikh. Actually the turban has been used not only in India but throughout the world for thousands of years. According to the Old Testament, God commanded Moses to wear the turban as the symbol of prophet hood, holiness, and divine power. Prophet Muhammad used to wear Turban and said “The turban is a frontier between faith and unbelief ”. In India everyone used to wear turban till Moghul rule who as a sign of slavery ordered that only Moslems can wear turban, others will cover their head with a cap (Topy). Sikh Gurus opposed it and continued to wear turban. The Sikhs call their turban “Dastar”. It is also called “Pugri” or “Pag”. The Sikhs do not cut their hair. They tie their hair on the forehead in a knot called “Jurha”, and the turban is used to cover the hair. For Sikhs Dastar is a spiritual crown.
