Guest Sardar Moderator Singh Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Thanks for this Freed. Great picture, far better than usually G S Tethi Pink Patiala-style turbaned Jassa Singh adopted by the so-called Ramgharia Boards of today! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh47 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 That's an amazing picture. Gives us an idea how Puraatan Singhs looked like. I have never seen a picture of Jassa Singh Ramgaria with a Patiala style pagh, but I have seem him with those Maharaja style paghs adorned with a kalgi and a number of jewels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sardar Moderator Singh Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Singh47 that's the one I refer to, there are two varieties one on horse back and the other on a throne, neither of them match this one nor the one popularised by Ramgharia Gurdwara Graham Street, B'ham (taken from the cover of H. S. Virdee's book on the Misl Sardar), where he is seen in a style of attire similar to the one above -i.e. not in a Maharaja Patalia style dastaar! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawrof Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 note how the ears aren't covered, and how the kachera is blue. I was told not to have a shawl over my dastaar by some dude at darbar sahib... this pic could have come in handy. It is not the outfit that makes the sikh, but the sikh that makes the outfit, and those who are too caught up in designing a "STANDARD" or "CORRECT" outfit (with .05% room for leniency) have failed to see the ever evolving nature of kudrat... waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh47 Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 In the pends alot of people in to this day put Lohis over the Dastars. I beleive that Jassa Singh Ramgaria is wearing a Khesi not a Lohi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
