Students of Akal Academy, Phaphre Bhaike participated in the Turban Tying Competition on the occasion of Dastar Bandhi Diwas.

They partook the long-respected Sikh tradition of tying a turban, affirming their resolve to continue doing what their fathers and grandfathers and many generations before them had done, as a symbol of their Sikh identity.

The atmosphere echoed with “Sir Jaave taa jaave, mera Sikhi Sidak Naa Jaave” making the atmosphere emotional and inspirational.

The students are taught the art of tying a turban. Layer after layer were wrapped, adorning each child with a beautiful crown which they promise to adorn for the rest of their lives.

Such activities are organized to create awareness about relevance of the Turban & maintaining unshorn hair amongst youth.

The judges paid attention to every wrap and crease, and at last the winners were announced. The most beautiful ones were awarded and appreciated by the staff members.

Such competitions are a personal reminder of their faith and firm commitment to Sikhi.
