Gurfateh Pyare Jio,

Does anyone know where you can get hold of beautifully decorated Aad Chands and Khandas as worn by our 3HO brothers and sisters on their dastars?

Dear challenge_everything Ji ,

There is a selection at this site :

http://www.ninetreasures.com/index.php?mai...d4f6e287e816575

They are quite pricey( in fact very pricey !!) - but I think they are beautiful and well made - better than the chrome plated khanda pins you get in India. I remember seeing Nihang Style Aad Chand for sale too only they were gold plated - when I find the site I will post it !!

By the way I do like the Company's name "Nine Treasures" !

Another side note ! in "3HO circles" - (Apologies for using that term) it tends to be women who wear the Adi shakti pins on their turbans - as it represents the Primal Feminine Creative Energy of the Universe - Which I guess is like the Nihang Aad Chand having its roots in the half Shiva half Parvati 'Ardhanarishvara'

hope that website helps !
