Kanga

Kirpan

Kirpan : A ceremonial sword, This is a symbol of spirituality and the constant struggle of good and morality over the forces of evil and injustice, both on a individual as well as social level. Wearing it is meant to inspire a Sikh in their daily life

Kara

Kara: A steel bracelet, rather than gold or silver, because it is not an ornament. It acts as a reminder that a Sikh should not do anything of which the Guru would not approve. It is a symbol of restraint and gentility.

kachera

Kachera: A special underwear, This is a pair of breeches that must not come below the knee. It was a particularly useful garment for Sikh warriors of the 18th and 19th centuries, being very suitable for warfare when riding a horse. It is a symbol of chastity.
