Dastar bunga
Dastar bunga, or "towering fortress",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sikh fortress turban )〕 is a style of turban used by a specific sect within the Sikhs, the Akali Nihangs (Armed crocodile). As an essential part of their faith the warriors used the turban as a store for their expansive range of weapons.
"Their turban was tied in a unique way, which with time, was established as a norm. Its method and style of tying was not aimed towards pleasing the Almighty, but was in accordance with the rank. The first form of the turban of the Singhs had a thick bamboo stick in the centre and was raised to a measure of nine inches or as long as a hand. And by circling step by step around the bamboo stick,that turban became similar to a tapering tube. When the last section of the turban reached the end of the wooden stick, abreast with the tip of the stick, a part, to the measure of a hand, was left flying loose.While riding or on foot, the flying movement of the loose end of the turban was like a flag, demonstrating their magnificence." Mufti 'Ali ud-Din, Ibratnamah (1854), 1:364-66.
==Personification==
The dark blue tunic (chola) and turban (dumalla)surmounted with quoit and dagger were first worn in 1699 at the time of the first Khalsa initiation ceremony of the double-edged sword (khanda-pahul). Next came the turban-flag (farra or farla), which was introduced by Guru Gobind Singh in 1702 during a clash with a Rajput hill king in the vicinity of Anandpur. The Khalsa's battle standard was cut down when its bearer, Akali Man Singh Nihang, fell wounded. Henceforth, the Guru decided that the dark blue flag should be worn as a part of Man Singh's turban, fluttering from its peak for as long as its bearer had life in him. It is said that the full magnificence of the Akal-Nihang uniform emerged the following year.
Guru Gobind Singh set a challenge to his gathered Khalsa warriors to reveal to him the perfect form of Maha Kal (Great Death). After a while, his youngest son, four–year–old Fateh Singh swaggered into court in mesmerising dark blue apparel. Though a child, his uncommon and overpowering bearing was greatly admired, especially by his father. On his head was bound a large dark blue 'turban fortress' (dastar bunga) intricately decorated with an array of sharpened steel daggers as well as a series of quoits and crescents descending in size towards its mountain like peak. A piece of blue cloth—the farla—was distinctively tied so that it sprouted from the turban's apex Fateh Singh manner was fiercer even than that of seasoned Akali-Nihangs such as his mentor, Man Singh. As he stood broad–chested, his eyes blood–red with effortful rage, he inspired awe as well as gentle laughter. With folded hands, the Guru reverential bowed in front of the child. When his perplexed warriors asked the reason for doing so, the Guru explained that he had paid his respect not merely to his son but to the true personification of Maha Kal as worn by the inspired child. The Guru declared that the uniform thus revealed was eminently suitable for the Akali-Nihangs to adopt.It was then that the Singhs also bowed to Fateh Singh. Since he possessed a spirit most like Maha Kal, Baba Fateh Singh (as he came to be known) was acknowledged as the foremost Akali-Nihang Singh.〔
