Sarbloh Kara Sikh Kada Kakaar Iron Smooth Karha Singh Kids Size Loha Bangle EE18
Sarbloh Kara Sikh Kada Kakaar Iron Smooth Karha Singh Warrior Loha Bangle
Design EE18
All sizes from Infants to Adults available. Please check variation list.
Singh is Bling Movie Style Kara 
Weight of Kara is approximate 17-35g (Variable depending upon the size of kara) . 
Thickness from outer Circumference to Inner Circumference is approx. 4mm 
Width is approx 5.6mm - every Kara is Handmade and Unique - therefore thickness may vary. 
These kara are from the Holy City of Amritsar (Golden Temple/Darbar Sahib). Size is inner diameter of Kara. 
There may be little bit rust, grinding marks or cuts may present which is seen commonly in all SARBLOH KARA due to purity of the metal/wrought iron and these kara are made in a traditional way. These characteristics give kara authentic antique look as it was in Guru Sahib's time. 
A kara ਕੜਾ کڑا कड़ा KADA, is a steel or iron (sarb loh) Bracelet, worn by all initiated Sikhs. 
It is one of the five kakars or 5Ks — external articles of faith — that identify a Sikh as dedicated to their religious order. The kara was instituted by the tenth Sikh Guru Gobind Singh at the Baisakhi Amrit Sanskarn in 1699. Guru Gobind Singh Ji explained: He does not recognise anyone else except me, not even the bestowal of charities, performance of merciful acts, austerities and restraint on pilgrim-stations; the perfect light of the Lord illuminates his heart, then consider him as the immaculate Khalsa. The kara is to constantly remind the Sikh disciple to do God's work, a constant reminder of the Sikh's mission on this earth and that he or she must carry out righteous and true deeds and actions, keeping with the advice given by the Guru. The Kara is a symbol of unbreakable attachment and commitment to God. It is in the shape of a circle which has no beginning and no end, like the eternal nature of God. It is also a symbol of the Sikh brotherhood. As the Sikhs' holy text, the Guru Granth Sahib Ji says, "In the tenth month, you were made into a human being, O my merchant friend, and you were given your allotted time to perform good deeds." Similarly, Bhagat Kabir reminds the Sikh to always keep one's consciousness with God: "With your hands and feet, do all your work, but let your consciousness remain with the Immaculate Lord." The basic kara is a simple unadorned steel bracelet, but other forms exist. It was historically used like a Knuckle-duster for hand-to-hand combat. Battlefield variations include kara with spikes or sharp edges. Sikh soldiers of the British Indian army would settle disputes by competing in a form of boxing known as loh-musti (lit. iron fist) with a kara on one hand. Brilliant finish and very decorative. Ideal gift item for loved ones on all occasions. 
P.S. Colour of item may slightly vary due to camera flash and light condition. 
PLEASE NOTE: Please measure/check size of your kara/bracelet first while ordering to avoid any hassle or posting it back to us and paying extra for p&p for exchange and swap of kara with other desired sizes. There will be charge of £3.50 p&p towards exchange/swap of Kara for any size issues for UK buyers and £9.99 p&p for international buyers that needs to be paid by PayPal in advance or interested buyer can send us pa repaid self addressed envelope for any exchange/swap along with the original item in its original packaging and buyer should also return us the gift item/bags sent along with the item for appreciation of purchase. We may post back gift items/bags along with the swapped item. P.S. Colour of item may slightly vary due to camera flash and light conditions. Some Kara may have negligible small black grinding mark on the kara joint. This is always seen on all kara as most of the Kara making/shaping work is done by hands. However, this do not affect the quality/look of Kara.

Bana - Sikh Spiritual Attire
Bana is the word for the traditional spiritual attire of a Sikh. ​Many Sikhs wear ceremonial bana when attending worship programs and ritual ceremonies at the gurdwara, or during holidays and festivals. Very devout Sikhs may wear bana of traditional colours every day.
Chola - Sikh Warrior Attire
A chola is the name of a particular style of bana worn traditionally by Sikh warriors. It is a kind of dress or robe which has a wide flared skirt made with panels to allow for freedom of movement. A famous story tells how Guru Har Rai, snagged his chola on a rose bush, and the lesson of self-mastery it entailed.
Hajoori
The hajoori (hazoori) neckcloth may be a narrow strip of turban cloth or other fine cloth about 2 meters or yards in length. The hajoori may be from 8 to 12 inches wide or the full width of turban cloth. It is usually white, but may occasionally be orange. The hajoori is worn by most ragis or katha performers on stage at gurwara programs. It is also worn by Nihang warriors and many Singhs or Singhis who sing kirtan. The Hajoori is also worn while reading devotional paath, preparing and serving langar or prashad. It's either wrapped or held to loosely cover the mouth.
Jutti - Footwear
Footwear is removed before entering a gurdwara worship hall. Although western styles are worn, many Sikhs still wear the traditional Punjabi style slipper known as a Jutti. These are made of leather, embellished with embroidery, and may sport a curl up toe. Initially, both slippers in a set are identical and must be worn for a while to conform to the left or right foot.
Kakar - Required Articles of Sikh Faith
The kakar are the five articles of faith:
Kachhera - Loose undergarment
Kanga - Wooden comb
Kara - Iron Bangle
Kes - Unshorn hair
Kirpan - Ceremonial short sword
An initiated Sikh is required to keep the kakar on the body at all times, day and night, regardless of circumstances.
Khanda - Embellishment of Sikh Emblem
The khanda is an emblem representing the Khalsa crest, or Sikh coat of arms. It consists of a double edge sword in the center, a circlet, and two swords. A khanda embellishment may be appliquéd, or embroidered on ceremonial Sikh clothing, or worn as a turban pin.
Kurti
Kurti is traditional casual wear worn by both men and women. Fabrics include all cotton and synthetic materials. Styles include various lengths from about mid hip to just above the knee. Sleeves can be full length, three-quarters, half sleeve, or short. Men's kurti tend to be plain white, solid colours, striped, hatched, and prints. Women's kurti range from plain white, and solid colours with contrasting embroidery often along with appliqué, to multi-colored patterns and prints
Kurta Pajama - Sikh Men's Wear
Kurta pajama is Sikh men's wear. A Kurta is a kind of long tailored shirt with side slits up to the pocket. A kurta may have a finished or straight edge cuffs and a rounded or straight hem. The pajama is a loose pant often made of fabric to match the kurta. The very devout wear simple styles in solid colours to express humility.
Tumblr media
Salvar Kamees - Sikh Women's Wear
Salvar Kamees is Sikh women's wear. Salvars are baggy loose fitting pants with ankle cuffs called ponche. The salvar is worn beneath the kamees, a dress top which is available in as many styles as there is imagination, and colour, often decorated with embroidery. The color of the salvar and kamees may match or contrast. They are worn with a colour coordinated matching or contrasting chunni or dupatta. The very devout tend to wear simple prints or solid colours with a little embroidery, as an expression of humility.
Tumblr media
Shastar - Weaponry
In addition to the required kirpan, various types of Shastar weaponry may adorn traditional Khalsa warrior attire. Siri Sahib is a term of respect applied to a sizable kirpan. A chakar is often used to adorn a turban. A gurj is a kind of spiky mace historically used in battle and worn at the waist. A singh might also carry a teer in the form of a ceremonial spear or an arrow.
Turban - Headwear of a Sikh
The Sikh turban is worn in a variety of styles. Required wear for a Sikh man, a turban is optional for a Sikh woman who may choose instead to wear a scarf, alone, or over a turban.
Turban styles:
Domalla - Double length turban of 10 or more yards
Pagri - Double width turban of five to six yards

"Singh" is the honourable surname of the Khalsas. The Five were beheaded... "Singh" is the honourable surname of the Khalsas. The Five were beheaded on stage and then the head of one was sown with the torso of the other and revived by His Word. https://youtu.be/Bg15W3P4Tuc SHORT ARTICLE ON A TRUE HINDU (FIRST PANTH), SIKH (SECOND PANTH), KHALSA (THIRD PANTH) AND NIRMALLAE SANT (THE FOURTH PANTH). Full details in my Punjabi Book:- www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/pdbook.pdf Book needs revision. Any interest to help me? For the full version of this long article, please go to my link:- www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/short.htm Anyone knows Why do you say Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa; Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh when Sachae Patshah Gobind Singh Ji, Founding Father of the third Khalsa Panth never visited Harmandir Sahib Holiest of Holy Complex and this Jai Kara of Khalsa and not of the Second Panth Sikhs is not allowed in Harmandir Sahib? Jai Kara of Sikhs is Bal Ram Jeo Har Aikum Kaar. A True Sikh is solitary, Niaara and he is one in a million; KOTON MAE AIK. COST OF “SINGH” SURNAME. The Five were beheaded on the stage and not taken into the Tent as a Thief will do. So, once you have been beheaded and given the common surname “Singh”, you do not use caste-like Jatt, Khatri, Tarkhan, etc. So, this surname "Singh" and the courtesy title “Sardar” is not as cheap as satanic Khatris have made it. No woman was given Amrit and only the tribal sons of Shiv, and Mahadev were given Amrit. Thus, the Father of the Khalsa is Akal Purakh represented by Sachae Patshah Gobind Singh Ji and their Mother is Mahadevan = Holy Spirit. Mai Bhago wasn't baptised. Only Bandei Khalsas of Lala Madho Dass Sodhi Khatri, the super donkeys that live in the family homes. The Khalsas are the Fauj of Akal Purakh and they seek not secular rule such as Khalistan but the spiritual rule of philanthropy. Thus, the hired Fauji Brars who wanted money was refused the Baptism. Thus, a family man cannot be a Khalsa but a Super Donkey Khalsa – NANAK TAE NAR ASSALL KHAR; JAE BINN GUNN GHARBHH KARANT. ttps://youtu.be/Iy3qXU6tI88 Khalsas do not enter a family home except to perform philanthropic deeds. They sleep in the wilderness. Here is my link to the Vaisakhi initiation:- http://www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/pdvais.pdf How wise and clever are the Khatris? PUTT JAMAN KHATRANIAN KOEE KOEE BAHMANIAN. Khatri puttring; kisse na Mittring Mittring hi Mittring; Dagah Dittring. The worst forms of Khatris are Mohammedan Khatri called Sheikh:- SHEIKH AUR SHAITAAN KA RUTBA AIK HAE; PAR SHAITAAN SHEIKH SE KADRE NAIK HAE. Youtube video on this topici........... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5EFCB35EA8C2D4D1 Here are the basic definitions:- www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/short.htm Thus, unless you are a Hindu, the son of Man (Shiv – Kabah is the Temple of Adam = Shiv = son of Brahma, Khuda, Yahweh, etc.) in which your TANN becomes Nirmall –PAPP TAJAYIA BALRAM JEO – Satguru Angad Dev Ji killed the tribal (Seed that is sown AND TURNED INTO A PLANT TO BEAR FRUIT) Haumae, you cannot be a Sikh, the Son of Parbrahm, Allah, Elohim, etc., a Saint = Bhagat = Satguru = Christ,  in which your MUNN becomes NIRMALL through Satguru within your own body, Harmandir that is capable of logical reasoning – Satguru Amar Dev Ji took the Sikhs to RAM RAJAYE where your Munn – AIK PITTA HUMM BARAK TAERE - counts and not the TRIBAL TANN, and you are spiritually PURE, KHALASS = Gurmukh Sikh = Mussallmaan – Pir Mian Mir Ji. Then, you are capable of joining the Third Khalsa Panth of the Philanthropic Soldiers to establish RIGHTEOUSNESS or become an Apostle after studying Vedas from Brahmins and Preaching the Gospel effectively with AUTHORITY. First Panth, Smaaj or Way of life is Hindu: - The root of the word Hindu is “HOND” or your tribal identity in Brahma established in JAATI AUR BAASI. This is well demonstrated by the people of South India who have four names; the name of the boy, his father’s name, his village name and finally his surname. By this, his identity “HOND” is established and he will have “SHARM” of his family and so DHARM. That is why no Saint was born or needed in South India and Saint Thomas was enough. They enjoy “Eros”, the tribal love = Piaar. First Lanv applies to Hindus in which your TANN becomes NIRMAL of Paap, sins. The Second Panth or Way of Life is Sikh in which the person becomes a student of spiritual knowledge to be a “HAR JANN” or son of Parbrahm. They thrive upon “Agape”, the unconditional Divine love = Prem as displayed by Bhai Ghaniyia Ji. Second Lanv applies to Sikhs how to purify one’s MUNN. or further details, read my Book in Punjabi “KAKHH OHLAE LAKHH” www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/pdbook.pdf or in English “FIRST GNOSTIC PRINCIPLES OF ONE GOD ONE FAITH” www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/book.htm – under revision www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/bookfin.htm and both need revisions for minor updates.

Religious Studies Term Of The Day: Five K’s
Today I thought I’d continue my look at Sikhi by examining how one can tell if one is a Sikh, or rather a Sikh that has been initiated into the Khalsa. They all have five visible signs of their faith that all start with K in Punjabi. The Five K’s are:
Kesh (Uncut hair)
Kangha (a semi-circular comb)
Kachh (short breeches)
Kara (a steel bracelet)
Kirpan (a dagger)
These all have a meaning behind them and are all sacred. However, they are not without controversy. After all, if an company, like an airline, wanted men to have hair at a certain length, would they make an exception for a Sikh? Or what about if a Sikh child goes to a public school that forbids knives and has to have their kirpan on them? I think these are interesting legal questions to explore, and I am curious if we are going to have a Supreme Court case about that in my lifetime. I’m obviously pretty pro-religious freedoms, and that’s why I like sharing this type of co tent to spread knowledge in the hopes of opening up minds. But for now, knowing what these things are and leaning why they are sacred really helps in navigating life, especially since we have a large Sikh population in my town. Anyway, Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you’re all doing well.

Oh, To have an Identity
Most of my relatives on my father's side reside in one town/area, and our family is the odd one out that lives in a different town. I understand my parent's decision to move away from my relatives to here; yet, at the same time, I am melancholic about a decision I had no choice in deciding.
I have lived in Quakertown my whole life, and this town is a predominately white, Christian town. I never truly realized the environment I grew up in until 2020, which has allowed me to notice a greater scope of the two worlds that I live in.
I am an American-Punjabi (ethnicity); I am a Sikh (religion), and I speak English and Punjabi. As a first-generation baby, it was natural for me to grow up here because my friends, teachers, and people here have nurtured me outside of my house. Spending 18 years growing up in an "American world" has allowed me to understand America from the beginning.
At the same time, I am a Punjabi at home, where I live in a slightly different cultural world. My parents encouraged me to speak Punjabi, my mother tongue, and practice my faith whenever I can. I see other Punjabis/Sikhs once a week at the Gurudwara, a Sikh house of worship, but it has been over a year since I have been there because of the pandemic and work. Due to that nature, I have felt disconnected from seeing and interacting with the "other" part of myself.
Because of my limited exposure to engaging with Sikh/Punjabi people, I feel a great sense of excitement when I see someone that looks any ounce of Indian, Punjabi, or Sikh in public - especially in Quakertown.
Yesterday, a 40 + year old Sikh man, a Singh, came into work; he had a large white turban, long beard, shirt, shorts, sandals, and a kirpan on his side. Instantly, I wanted to talk to him and ask him where he was from and everything, but I was still working, and we were hectic. Eventually, he came up to me for help with ordering a drink. Eagerly, I first exclaimed, "Sat Shri Akal," which is a standard greeting that means, "Truth is the name of God." Baffled, he smiled and responded back. From there, we started conversing in Punjabi, smiling, delighted to see each other today (helped him order his Frozen Doubleshot Cappuccino). It turns out he did not know where the closest Starbucks was, so he came here, which, might I add, was a beautiful deliberation of God serving his powers.
That occurrence was a weirdly defining moment for me. My parent's reassurance to speak Punjabi and keep the reach of my faith has set me up for heartwarming coincidences like this.
Religiously speaking, our Tenth Guru, Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, created the Khalsa to solidify and essentially tie a bow upon Sikhism, creating physical identities for Sikhs to follow moving forward as a community. These characteristics include:
Uncut hair
Turban
Kara - a steel bracelet
Kirpan - a small dagger used in defense
Many more
At that moment, I realized that this is what Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji intended when that Singh strolled into work. He knew that in a world where Sikhs are a minority that we would need something to symbolize natural brotherhood and sisterhood. I remember feeling inexplicably warm and fulfilled when I noticed him, appreciating that he is just like me. We are united through our relationship with God, even if my connection is not as mighty as his.
At that definite moment, I had to thank my parents for constantly pushing me to keep in touch with my roots. Despite the lack of exposure I have had in my bare 18 years, I am almost sure that my parents did that so I could enjoy small moments like this.
Or not. Who knows.

Sikhi in America
Many Sikh men come to America or Canada and cut their hair off so they would fit in; so no one would look at them differently. They claim it is a form of survival in such a racist world. But is that really right? Is that reason good enough for a Sikh man to perform “Kes katal” (cutting of hair)? Not only do they cut their hair, but after coming abroad they get so busy with work and their everyday lives, they forget to teach their kids the importance of Sikhi and why it’s so beautiful. Not having prior knowledge to their own religion and culture, in addition to the extreme racist comments ignorant Americans make, they begin to frown upon who they think they are. When in reality, they do not even know who they are. 
Parents are forgetting that this new generation, born and raised in America, will not be growing up in a majority Punjabi/Indian society like themselves. Instead, they are growing up as a minority. If the parents fail to teach their kids the true meaning of being a Sikh, then no one else will. Instead, they will let their ignorant peers make them feel wrong for being different. Kids begin to do anything to fit in. My own cousins admittedly takes off his kara(bracelet) upon arriving at school so people do not treat him differently. If only his parents took out the time to explain the importance of wearing a kara, instead of simply putting it on his wrist and sending him off, he would be able to explain to others why he is wearing a steel band around his wrist.
Kids should be able to confidently talk about their religion so when someone dares to say something against it, they fight back instead of bowing their head and wishing they weren't different or maybe even Sikh.

What is the significance of Sikh Kara?
Sikh religion is the world’s fifth-largest religion, with more than 25 million adherents worldwide. This religion is known for its sacrifices and rich cultural traditions. You can easily recognize a Sikh standing in the crowd. Their turban, attire and five kakkars perfectly represent the rich culture of Sikhs. They wear all these things with utmost pride and happiness.
Punjabi Kara or Sikh Kara is one of the five kakkars. If we look back in history, the Kara was instituted by the tenth guru of sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh Ji at the Baishakhi Amrit Sanchar in 1699.
The Kara symbolizes an unbreakable attachment with God and commitment towards the religion.
The steel bracelet is a constant reminder of the Sikh’s mission on this earth. It reminds them to carry righteous and faithful deeds and actions, keeping with the advice given by the Guru.
Design of a Kara
Sikh Kara is in the shape of a circle with no beginning and no end. This shape epitomizes the eternal nature of God. The basic Kara is a simple, unadorned steel bracelet usually worn on the hands or wrist of men and women.
At Shree Amritsar Swords, we offer you some of the best designer karas handcrafted with perfection. These designs are handcrafted at par with the preferences of our customers.
The symbolic importance of Sikh Kara
Punjabis have their rituals and beliefs to lead life. Punjabi Kara or Sikh Kara is one of the five kakkars. Sikhism is a religion known for its history. Our Sikh Gurus had sacrificed their lives for their people and religion. Kara is a steel bracelet which was introduced by the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
This bracelet depicts the selfless nature of Sikh people. Moreover, it also depicts the permanent bonding of Sikhs with their community. While wearing a Kara, Sikhs promise to help people in the hour of need.
Additionally, if we dig into Sikh history, we will come to know about its origin. The Kara, initially, originated as a protective ring to guard the sword arm of the Khalsa warriors during battle. Moreover, in earlier times it was used as a knuckle-duster for hand-to-hand combat.
People wear Kara with a belief to get connected with God. However, people of other religions also wear Kara due to its beauty and as a style statement. It is believed that Punjabi kara protects from danger. Moreover, this kara symbolizes concealment and courtesy. Symbolically, it is also associated with the Sikh concept of being linked with the supreme power. It reminds people of living and working under the super divine power
Kara holds a special place in people’s hearts even in this modern world. This steel bracelet is a Sikh symbol that is linked to the Guru. The Kara acts as a reminder that a Sikh should not do anything which the Guru would not approve. He should work for the good and welfare of people.
Kara — Symbolism of giving Reverence to your Religion
Wearing a Kara symbolizes that you are devoted to your god and religion. When Sikhs wear this kara they feel a close connection with god.
Moreover, the design of Kara is a symbol of God having no beginning and no end. You can feel a close attachment with your god when you wear it.
Acts as a Protector
Kara is similar to the evil eye protector bracelets. People wear it for protection. Kara guides you from the outside or inside. In addition to protecting you from negative karma, it reminds you not to use your hands for evil deeds.
Various kinds of karas
There can be nothing more beautiful than wearing karas as they symbolize the vastness and beauty of your religion. Moreover, you can choose from various varieties of designs. They may differ in size, design, and material but these bracelets are a perfect handpiece to wear on any occasion.

Please read below more Information about Sikh Kara:
A kara ਕੜਾ کڑا कड़ा KADA, is a steel or iron (sarb loh) Bracelet, worn by all initiated Sikhs. It is one of the five kakars or 5Ks — external articles of faith — that identify a Sikh as dedicated to their religious order. The kara was instituted by the tenth Sikh Guru Gobind singh at the Baisakhi Amrit Sanskarn in 1699. Guru Gobind Singh Ji explained:
He does not recognise anyone else except me, not even the bestowal of charities, performance of merciful acts, austerities and restraint on pilgrim-stations; the perfect light of the Lord illuminates his heart, then consider him as the immaculate Khalsa.
The kara is to constantly remind the Sikh disciple to do God's work, a constant reminder of the Sikh's mission on this earth and that he or she must carry out righteous and true deeds and actions, keeping with the advice given by the Guru. The Kara is a symbol of unbreakable attachment and commitment to God. It is in the shape of a circle which has no beginning and no end, like the eternal nature of God. It is also a symbol of the Sikh brotherhood. As the Sikhs' holy text, the Guru Granth Sahib Ji says, "In the tenth month, you were made into a human being, O my merchant friend, and you were given your allotted time to perform good deeds." Similarly, Bhagat Kabir reminds the Sikh to always keep one's consciousness with God: "With your hands and feet, do all your work, but let your consciousness remain with the Immaculate Lord."
The basic kara is a simple unadorned steel bracelet, but other forms exist. It was historically used like a Knuckle-duster for hand-to-hand combat. Battlefield variations include kara with spikes or sharp edges. Sikh soldiers of the British Indian army would settle disputes by competing in a form of boxing known as loh-musti (lit. iron fist) with a kara on one hand.
Brilliant finish and very decorative. Ideal gift item for loved ones on all occasions.
Postage discounts for multi-buys.
Any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
P.S. Colour of item may slightly vary due to camera flash and light conditions. Some kara may have negligible small black grinding mark on the kara joint. This is always seen on all kara as most of the Kara making/shaping work is done by hands. However, this do not affect the quality/look of kara.
