What One Needs To Know Concerning A Green Turban

By Margarita Joseph


Green turban is worn by many people from different religious groups. As such, they are referred to by many different names. The names vary with the location and the religion. Major religions that require their members to wear them include Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, and Christianity in some regions. Some of the names commonly used include pug, bulle, pagri, and dastar.

Some states like Afghanistan have turned bulles into part of their national clothing. In such nations, more than ninety-five percent of the residents wear pugs and those who never may be stigmatized by the community. Other nations in which pugs are worn include Pakistan, Australia, India, the Americas, the Middle East, Europe, parts of Africa, and parts of Asia.

Turbans come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Each color may have a different distinct meaning apart from the general ones. Certain colors are also preferred more by certain age groups than others. Some of the colors include white, black, red, yellow, blue, gray, pink, brown, purple, and green. Others may have patterns, images, or a composite of colors. Religious leaders also have their own colors of preference.

Previously, dastars were mainly worn by men, though currently that has greatly changed and the total number of women and children that wear them has risen. The way females and males tie the pagris should be same especially among Sikhs because Sikhism encourages equality of gender. Some women choose to wrap plain scarves or wrap the scarves over dastars. Children have their own style of tying the headgear.

There are many different meanings attached to pagris in different places. First, they are a sign of spirituality and holiness. Religious leaders among pug wearers are required to put on the headwear when out of duty or when presiding over religious ceremonies. The headwear is passed on to the incoming leader and that passage continues forever.

Dastar wearers believe in maintaining their hair hygienic and free from contaminants. For example, when Sikh men get initiated, they believe that the nectar sprinkled on their heads is holy. The oil renders their hair sacred and holy and it is the duty of the initiates to keep it in that condition. This can be ensured only by wrapping a bulle over it. Initiates also get advised to avoid company of tobacco smokers because their hair must never be touched by cigarette or its smoke.

Other purposes the bulle serves include fashion. People wear them to match specific clothes with the headwear when going for functions. Wearers are also considered as responsible and people of high morals in the society. In places like India, different categories of people have their own types and styles. The people groups are divided into politicians, workers, and religious leaders.

A green turban is regarded with great respect among wearers. It aids individuals to easily identify with one another around the globe. This color shade may also be realized from far due to its shininess. It needs at least 2 individuals to wrap the headwear well although a single individual may still do it well.
