A white turban is the same as other kinds of turbans and is used in protecting heads and hair from getting dirty or polluted. They are also called dastars, or pagris, or bulles in various locations around the globe. Apart from white, there are different colors in which turbans are made such as pink, black, gray, red, yellow, green, brown, blue among many others. Some have a mixture of color shades while others have patterns.

The primary wearers of white pagris are the Hindus, Sikhs, some Christians, and Muslims. These headdresses are utilized in almost all locations of the globe and are gaining higher popularity as time goes by. They are broadly utilized in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, various parts of Asia, eastern and northern Africa, the Middle East, parts of Europe, and, Americas.

In Afghanistan and other Muslim worlds, it has been made to be part of national dress. In such countries, where it is considered as part of the national cloth, every citizen is expected to wear it. Those who do not wear them are treated as outcasts and may be targets of attack by the community. Religious leaders are also required to wear them whether or not they are on duty.

Among the Sikhs, this headdress is treated with much respect. The Sikhs have belief that wearing of the bulle is fulfillment of the Holy Scripture according to Sikhism. They consider it as a duty to always wear and to protect the dastar for their entire lives. This is particularly more after going through the initiation that qualifies young people as Sikhs.

During the initiation, young men have some kind of fragrance poured on their head as part of an event. The fragrance is considered to be holy and so by pouring on the head, the head is made holy too. The holy head is then to be maintained so by covering it with the dastar for the rest of the life of initiates.

Bulles protect hair and maintain it clean from cigarette and cigarette smoke, which are viewed as pollutants by Sikhs. Initiates are also never supposed to smoke cigarette or associate very much with smokers. Since smoke is never supposed to get into contact with the head, people cover their hair with dastars. Other community members also regard pagri wearers as nicely behaved and holy individuals.

The headgears also indicate the religious, social, and political responsibilities one is entrusted with. The styles and colors used by various social groups might vary with the religious group in consideration. The dastars may also be wrapped differently in different events such as funerals, parties, weddings, and other social events. They come in varied sizes and shapes to fit different applications.

Tying of a white turban could be performed by a single individual, but with the aid of a helper, it is done more effectively and faster. It takes some knowledge, to wrap the pagri in the right way. Some people provide the necessary skills in small firms at a small cost. White dastars in specific observation are a symbol for holiness and high spirituality of wearers. By observation, they are majorly worn by aged religious individuals as contrasted to younger people who use other colors.
