Best Answer

The 5 Ks date from the creation of the Khalsa Panth by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699.

The Guru introduced them for several reasons:

* Adopting these common symbols would identify members of the Khalsa

* Because all members of the Khalsa wear the 5 Ks the members of the community are more strongly bound together

* Each K has a particular significance

The meaning of the 5 Ks

A simple, plain circular steel bracelet Kara - a steel bracelet ©

The 5 Ks taken together symbolise that the Sikh who wears them has dedicated themselves to a life of devotion and submission to the Guru.

The 5 Ks are 5 physical symbols worn by Sikhs who have been initiated into the Khalsa.

The five Ks are:

* Kesh (uncut hair)

* Kara (a steel bracelet)

* Kanga (a wooden comb)

* Kaccha - also spelt, Kachh, Kachera (cotton underwear)

* Kirpan (steel sword)
