A battle-hardened Nihang Singh (traditional Sikh warrior) with a dastaar bunga (tower turban) adorning a gajga (a martial iron ornament) and traditional body armour. He seems in better shape than the younger and modern Sikh soldiers surrounding him

230305 Onew the First Concert — O-New-Note Day III

JShawol seated close to 2MinKey wrote about their reactions/interactions during the concert:

■ Minho was playing with his sunglasses and hair a lot,

■ Kibum was holding ShaStar cutely in two hands,

■ Taemin looked soft and natural and had kind of bed hair

■ They were standing together with Shawols for the first part of the concert; Taemin tried to stand still but during dance songs he was swaying, Minho was waving ShaStar above his head and Kibum was watching very intently

■ During Sign when Jinki was throwing flower bouquets, Minho reached out with his hands as if to say ‘give me some too’,

■ during the slogan event (first MC) they were holding slogans too,

■ when Jinki was talking in aegyo, Minho was laughing and doing 🤦‍♂️

■ during DICE all three of them were waving ShaStars

■ they were watching VCRs very intently

■ they sat down for ballad section,

■ when Jinki was talking about the scents, Taemin lifted the mask a little and seemed to be sniffing,

It seems 2MIN were really into sexy songs (Minho with Expectations and Taemin with Beauty)

■ someone (probably Kibum) brought some chocolates and they were all eating them at one point

■ they stood up again for Circle,

■ Taemin left after Circle ended

■ when Jinki got emotional and Shawols were like aww, don’t cry and he said sth along the lines of ‘I just got into the mood’, Minho burst out laughing,

■ during Starry Night Minho turned on the light in his phone and was waving it

■ Kibum took off his jacket during the concert, but he put it on again when the members' introduction was close and made himself presentable.

"I bow to Him that holdeth the arrow in His hand; I bow to the fearless one. I bow to the God of gods who is in the present and the future. I bow to the Scimatar, the two-edged Sword, the Falchion, and the Dagger. Thou, O God, hast over one form; Thou art over unchangeable. I bow to the Holder of the Mace Who diffused light through the fourteen worlds. I bow to the Arrow and the Musket, I bow to the Sword, spotless, fearless, and unbreakable; I bow to the powerful Mace and Lance To which nothing is equal. I bow to him who holdeth the discus, Who is not made of the elements and who is terrible. I bow to the Arrow and the Cannon Which destroy the enemy I bow to the Sword and the Rapier Which destroy the evil. I bow to all weapons named Shastar (which may be held). I bow to all weapons called Astar (which may be hurled or discharged)."

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.

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.

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

Dastar - A single turban of four to six yards

Keski - A short turban of two or three yards

Patka - A square of half to one yard tied over the joora (top knot) and head

Fifty - A half yard worn beneath turban

Scarf styles:

Chunni - A sheer lightweight veil of up to two and half yards

Dupatta - A double-wide fabric veil of up to two and half yards

Ramal - Square or triangular head cover
