In the Western countries (United States, England, Australia, and Canada), the people that wear turbans are Sikhs. There are two types of turbans that Sikhs wear: Dastar and Patka. The patka is what Sikh male teenagers wear. The Patka is not actually a turban, but it serves the same purpose as the dastar.
