This is not a new photo but I came across this while surfing and wanted to share it !!

This site stated that this was a photo of Major Singh wearing a major turban - purported to be the biggest in the world at 30kg and 400 meters of cloth. He hopes it will be a source of inspiration to young Sikh boys who are opting for having their hair cut rather than covering it.

The larger the turban the higher the status, but part of the forehead must be left exposed so that skin can touch the ground when in prayer.

For Sikhs the headgear is seen as Guru Nanak's gift, a crown marking them out as dedicated to their higher consciousness.
