Revision history [back]

As far as putting your turban in your mouth, it's just another thing that makes one Sikh different from another. Guru Ji never said anything about it. It's how much you respect your mouth I guess. I recite Gurbani from my mouth everyday, and so I don't mind if the end of my turban is in my mouth for a little while. If there is any part of our body that is unholy then perhaps we shouldn't adorn a turban at all on the top of our body.

Each body has nine holes, the tenth one is kept hidden. The turban covers the 10th, as well as both ears. I guess for some the ear hole is more sacred than the mouth hole because they allow their turban to touch one but not the other.
