∙ 11y agoThe Sikhs have 5 Articles of Faith called the Five K's and one of them is the sword they carry which is called a Kirpan. The other articles are: Kesh (long hair), Katchera (undergarment/underwear), Kara- a steel bracelet worn on the wrist, and the Kangha, a wooden comb for combing the hair, and finally the Kirpan, a ceremonial small dagger carried by the Sikhs. This was introduced by Guru Govind Singh, and after a special baptism (The Amrit Ceremony ), all Sikhs carry these 5 items with them.
