Mastering The Art Of Turban Tying

By Freda Watts


It is vital that every Hindu men or female recognizes turban tying as this adornment is incredibly affiliated to their conviction along with heritage. Practically in most places, it is discovered to be worn mostly by Hindu males than females. One intriguing minutia is that just how this material is manipulated depends on the sect, Hinduism or conviction one follows. Two renowned methods for tackling the method could be employed; first procedure entails draping the cloth down the head to the shoulder while other includes hand pinching one end on forehead while making rounds with the other. When this is completed perfectly, the very last part ends up behind head and is also tucked in.

Wearing the adornment on short hair is easy; however, for those who have long hair combing up is the first thing to do. Watch out for any major tangles or knots in your long hair. Instead of using the harsh teeth of comb, use your fingers gently. Although long hair is not a must to get the final tie up, a perfectly combed hair helps to tie the knot and stick it firmly to the head.

Regarding the measurement of cloth, approximately 3 m x 50 cm is sufficient for a kid and around 6 m x 100 cm is for a mature individual. The choice of color is an individual taste, but it is recommended not to select dark colors that absorb heat. While washing, you can apply starch to make the fabric amply supple so that the wraps become smooth. Some people put on a head covering before winding the fabric.

An individual might not exactly have anyone to help them and so, they might use a reflector and begin by holding one end of material by the teeth. The clutch would ensure that it is prevented from falling away during the entire manipulation.

Wind this cloth in a counterclockwise direction around the head. You should wind back and forth making sure its rounded shape. Perform each step precisely least any mistake should lead to an odd shape. Redo a step if it looks deformed so that everything gets back into place.

You should continue following windings until the cloth cannot reach further around your head. As you reach this point, insert the remaining fabric at the back of your head. This cloth is compressed carefully to maintain the shape and pattern and not to make the grip feel too stiff for head.

Gripping one end using teeth spread it gently on top of this bind-up bearing in mind that the cover is not too firm. The windings are mounted and presented on the frontal head. This cloth then covers the head while maintaining the position of tuck.

Children can follow the same procedure. Although adults can do the whole process without a helper, a minor trying it alone will not hold the cloth throughout the entire time. While the child uses the one end to wind it around his head, allow another child to hold the other end of the fabric. Such teamwork trains children on turban tying and develops reverence for this cultural tradition.
