Sikh Turban Showdown

February 28th, 2013: In January, the Sikh Foundation of Virginia held a “Turban Showdown” for the pre-school children and older youth of its gurdwara in Northern Virginia.

Parents helped the children wrap their turban or keski and then watched them walk down a runway.

Youth and education coordinator Surinder Singh explained the meaning of the turban and why it is, for Sikhs, a mark of pride, respect, and responsibility.
