The Panj Kakar or (meaning 5 k's) Are listed above they are:
The Kesh- Kesh(uncut hair) is one of the two Ski's that most people have, even if they aren't baptized. Sikh guys tie their hair into a 'Joora'then cover it with a turban. At a younger age, people cover their Joora with a 'Patka', a smaller turban. Most females either braid their hair or put it in a bun on the back of their head or even in a patka. A lot of emphasis is put on Kesh because it is the body in the natural way that it was created by God.
Khanga- A comb. It is used for the hygene of the hair. Sikhs are asked to clean their hair in the morning and at bed time.
Kara- Most people wear this whether they are baptized or not. The Kara is an iron or steel bracelet that binds the Sikh, who is wearing it, to God. The Kara is used to remind the Sikh to do the right deeds. It is usually worn on that hand that is most used so that the Sikh can see the Kara whenever he does anything.
Kacherra- Wornby people who've been baptized. It ensures agility and freedom of movement. Kachhera is a form of boxer shorts that symbolize chastity
Kirpan- The Kirpan is only worn by people who have been baptized. However, like the other Panj Kakar, it isn't worn at all times. Sikh's use the kirpan for self defence.
The other 3 symbols are those of pride and rememberance of our Guru's they are:
-Ek-Ong Kar Symbol
The Guru Granth Sahib Ji opens with these words. Ek-Onkar means 'There is one God.' This is a constant reminder that there is only one God in the universe.
-Khanda
The Khanda, like Ek-Onkar is a very important symbol in Sikhism. The Khanda symbolizes God's Universal and Creative Power. In it's center is a double edged sword, which symbolizes the primal and almighty power of the creator. The 'Chakra' or the circle is a symbol of the continuity. The two swords on the outside are symbols of the spiritual and political balance in the universe.
-Nishan Sahib
Nishan Sahib is the Khalsa Flag. Saffron in color and of triangle shape it is a religious flag. It has a black Khanda in the middle. The flag post is also covered in saffron cloth and has a metallic Khanda at the top. If you see a Nishan Sahib you know a Gurdwara is near.
