Khalsa Sikhs do not cut or colour their hair. Men will often wear their hair in a Dastar, or turban, to keep it neat and tidy.
A small, curved sword, often kept in a case and worn at all times.
Plain, white cotton shorts (worn as underwear) based on those worn by soldiers when the Khalsa was formed.
A simple steel bracelet worn on the wrist.
A small wooden comb used to keep hair tidy.
It represents cleanliness and order. It can be a reminder that, like keeping long hair neat and tidy, a Khalsa Sikh should also take care of how they think and behave.
It is made up of the two words Kirpa (meaning kindness) and Aan (meaning righteousness). The sword is not intended to be used unless it is the absolute last resort.
A symbol of modesty and self-respect. For members of the Khalsa, wearing it is a reminder to act responsibly and honourably and with the highest morals.
Many Sikhs believe that hair is a gift from God so they do not cut it. It is a way of showing respect for what God has given them. It also represents spirituality and holiness.
A reminder of the belief that God has no beginning and no end and that humans are eternally united with God. It is also a reminder to always think about God and to do good things.

"It is about committing to a life of discipline and sacrifice for my faith. This includes following the Five Ks, praying regularly and living a life that is honest, compassionate and selfless."
For some, becoming Amritdhari is a way to strengthen their identity as Sikhs and feel a closer connection to the Sikh community. It is a sign of belonging and commitment to the group.
Today, being part of the Khalsa signifies a commitment to Sikh beliefs and practices. Many Sikhs take pride in being members of the Khalsa, continuing the traditions established by Guru Gobind Singh.
"For me, becoming Amritdhari was an important step in my spiritual journey. It's a way to grow closer to God and to live a life that's focused on Sikh values."
Many Amritdhari consider they are called to be focused on and guided by God. They may believe God prepares them to stand up against injustice by defending themselves and the rights of others. This is sometimes referred to as being a Saint-Soldier.
