However, a core teaching of the Sikh faith was that all people are equal — there are no high or low among us. As such, it was mandated that all Sikhs initiated into the faith cover our heads with a turban, thereby signifying the equal status among the faith’s followers.Guru Nanak, the first Guru and Founder of Sikhism wore a turban and since, every Sikh Guru who followed also wore one. In April 1699, Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th guru of the Sikh religion conducted a baptism ceremony in April 1699 in the city of Anandpur.
The Turban stands out as strong symbolism for the Sikh religious community. In fact, it has become a shining beacon for Sikh members to be recognised everywhere.
