A bit itchy at first, and since my hair isn't that long, joora looks a bit to small, but yes, it's great!

Try 'Dastar' after you start feeling comfortable...it will compliment your personality more !!

I have double patti dastaar thanks to the kind donation of Arvind-ji and waheguru di kirpa hai.

i'm having trouble tying it so i will wait a few more years and ask someone at Gurdwara to help, if they have time, or take a "turban tying ceremony", etc.

you are on the right track, well done friend

 

[Arvind]

Great going Rick.

Please feel free to call me on YM so that another webcam session of turban tying can be done

Cheers, Arvind.

also check out the videos on sikhnet: How to Tie a Turban (Sikh/Sikhism Styles). this is how i learned to tie my dastaar. it just takes a little practice, you should be doing great in no time.

also, if you want to try different lenghths and styles you can buy turban fabric at any fabric store in the US, it's called "cotton voile". experiment and practice until you find your perfect fit!

Hai Rabba, enna sohna munda,
Mein varri java, mein sadkey java.
Dhan teri sikhi, dhan teri kamaye.

Congrats to you, Sherab.
Waheguru is great.

Day 2 - http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t200/Sherab000/PB082081.jpg

Day 2 (fixed) - http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t200/Sherab000/PB082081-1.jpg

Day 2 (patka fixed twice now) http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t200/Sherab000/PB082083.jpg

I think my issue is with fixing things that are already "fixed", if you know what i mean.

Arvind-ji, once my kesh gets longer, why not. in the pic of day two i posted, i have ur kanga in my joora, many thanks!

Looks great! I haven't even grown much of a beard yet, let alone a patka.

Great Job! Keep going and you will get to a dastaar. Keep going until you feel comfortable wearing a dastaar.

Congradulations!!

i agree, a dastaar will look great with your beard. i'd go for a dumalla or gol style dastaar, they look great.
