Five Ks (Kakars)

The Five Ks, or Kakars, are five symbols worn by initiated Sikhs, representing their faith and commitment to Sikh teachings. They are: 1. **Kesh** - uncut hair, symbolizing respect for God’s creation. 2. **Kanga** - a wooden comb, representing cleanliness and order. 3. **Kara** - a steel bracelet, symbolizing restraint and connection to the community. 4. **Kirpan** - a ceremonial dagger, signifying the duty to protect and uphold justice. 5. **Kachera** - cotton undergarments, representing modesty and moral integrity. Together, these symbols reflect Sikh identity and values.
