A turban is a piece of cloth that is long and is usually tied on the head by males and females. This cloth normally worn by Hindu males. The method of tying is dependent on the region one comes from or sect of Hinduism one follows. There are two ways to tie it. One way is to simply drape the cloth over head down to the shoulder. With one hand pinch it at the forehead and wrap it around head in an up down movement. If done well, the last piece stops around the back of head and tucked at the back of the head. The religion requires that one knows how to tie a turban.
One can also do this over their short hairs. As for long hair, it is first combed upwards then tied as a knot. The hair must not be long to have this knot as the combing is all that matters. A comb or kanga is then slid into the knot to hold it together.
Tying this wear is simple. One needs a piece of cloth measuring 3m by 50cm for a child, for a grownup the cloth is estimated to be 6m by 100cm. It can be of any color. The washer man applies starch on the fabric to make it smooth. A small cap has to be worn inside before the cloth is wrapped.
After removing the starch, one should stand in front of a mirror. To begin with, he or she should clench one corner of this material to be used with their teeth. This is to keep it off the other end of cloth and to hold it tightly in a way that it does not drop from slipping out of control.
This is followed by winding in anticlockwise movement. One must continue to wind until the entire cloth is used but keeping in mind not to cover the knot. In the process, make sure that you cover the ears.
The successive windings should continue until the cloth can no longer go around head. When this is achieved, this cloth is then tucked. This cloth is tightened, but in a careful manner to avoid making the head stiff or interfere with the layout.
Open this piece out in a gentle style and spread out the top knot, then, relax the fold all-round the head. Remember you are still holding the other end with your teeth. Release it and let it go round head to end in front. Make it go to the back of head over the windings of other end. Tuck the remains at the top.
These are also worn by children and this process is maintained. It is important to note that unlike an adult, a child cannot hold the piece of cloth throughout the process. Even though this is difficult, it must be noted that one end must be help while the other does rounds around head. When the child is made to hold the end, they also learn how to tie a turban early enough.
