## Cultural Context

The dastar (turban) is a mandatory article of faith for Sikhs, representing honor, self-respect, courage, spirituality, and piety. The orange (saffron/kesari) color holds special significance in Sikhism, symbolizing sacrifice and the martial tradition of the Khalsa. Turbans also have deep cultural roots across South Asia in Hindu, Muslim, and Rajput traditions.
