In Sikhism, Five Ks (Punjabi: ?????? PaÃÆ' Â ± j Kak? R ) is five items ordered by Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa Sikh to be worn at any time in 1699. They are: Kesh (hair not cut), Kangha (wooden haircut), Kara (iron bracelet), Kachera (100% cotton underwear that can braided) (not elastic)) and Kirpan (an iron dagger big enough to defend himself).
The Five Ks is not just a symbol, but an article of faith that collectively forms the external identity and commitment of Khalsa devotees for the Sikh rehni "Sikh way of life". A Sikh who has taken Amrit and made the fifth K known as Khalsa pure Amritdhari Sikh ("Amrit Sanskar participant"), while a Sikh that has not been taken Amrit but following the teachings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib is called Sahajdhari Sikh .

Kesh
Kesh hair, or long cut, is considered by Sikhs as an indispensable part of the human body. Long known as a sign of spiritual devotion, it also mimics the appearance of Guru Gobind Singh and is one of the main signs by which a Sikh can be identified clearly and quickly. A Sikh never cuts or cuts any hair as a symbol of respect for the perfection of God's creation. Long hair and unbroken beard, in the case of men, form the main kak for the Sikhs.
Sacrifice is a spiritual crown, which is a constant reminder to the Sikhs that they sit on the throne of consciousness and commit to life in accordance with the Sikh principles. Guru Gobind Singh told the Sikhs:
"Khaalsa mero roop hai khaas, Khaalsa mai ho karo nivaas... Khalsa is my shadow In Khalsa, I am." Wearing turban expresses sovereignty, dedication, self-esteem, courage and piety.
The recorded figure in Sikh history is Bhai Taru Singh, who was martyred when he refused to cut his Kesh.

Kangha
Comb hair twice a day, cover with a turban that should be tied off fresh.
Kangha is a small wooden comb that the Sikh uses twice a day. It should only be worn in hair and every time. The comb helps cleanse and remove tangles from the hair, and is a symbol of cleanliness. Combing their hair reminds Sikhs that their lives must be neat and orderly.
The comb keeps the hair neat, symbols not only accept what God has given, but also the command to defend it with grace. Guru Gobind Singh says hair should be allowed to grow naturally; This does not include shaving for men and women. In Master's time, some saints let their hair tangle and dirty. The Master said that this is not true; that hair should be allowed to grow but must be kept clean and combed at least twice a day.
Kara
Sikhs were instructed by Guru Gobind Singh in Baisakhi Amrit Sanchar in 1699 to wear an iron bracelet called Kara at all times. The Kara is a constant reminder to always remember that whatever one does with their hands must be in accordance with the advice given by Master. Kara is a circle of iron/steel to symbolize God as never ending. It is a symbol of a permanent bond to society, being the link in the Khalsa Sikh chain (the word for link is "curry").
Kachera
??? ?? ?? ?? ????? ????? ?????? ? The sign of true sanctity is Kachera, you must wear this and hold the weapon in hand.
Initially, Kachmemeosera was made part of the five Ks as a symbol of a Sikh soldier's willingness to be ready at that moment for combat or for defense. Sikhs who are confirmed (people who have taken Amrit) wear Kachera every day. Some go to the level of wearing Kacheraye while bathing, to be ready for a moment, turning to the new one foot at a time, so as to have no moment where they are not ready. Furthermore, this clothing allows Sikh soldiers to operate in combat freely and without any barriers or restrictions, as it is easy to fabricate, nurture, wash, and transport compared to other traditional clothing of the day, such as dhoti. Kachera symbolizes self-esteem, and always reminds the user of mental control over lust, one of the Five Crimes in Sikh philosophy.
Kachenarsra follows a generally practical and roomy design. It features embedded strings wrapping around the waist that can be tightened/loosened as desired, and then securely fastened. The Kachera can be classified between the underwear and the outer garments, as in the appearance it does not reveal personal anatomy, and looks and wears like shorts. Like all Five Ks, there is equality between men and women, and also women are also expected to wear them. Considering the hot climate in India, Kachera is often worn by men as outerwear, keeping the wearer cool and practical in manual work such as farming, but is generally not considered to be honoring women to wear Kachera as outerwear because it is considered too open.
Kirpan
????? ??? ???? ??? ???, ??????? ????? ??? ? Those who never leave their arms, they are Khalsa with excellent rehats.
The kite is a dagger that symbolizes the task of a Sikh to come to defend those in danger. All Sikhs have to wear a lever on their body at all times as a defensive side arm, just as a police officer is expected to wear a side arm while on duty. Its use is only permitted in the defense and protection of others. It means courage and protect the weak and innocent.
Potatoes remain sharp and are actually used to defend others, such as those who are oppressed by violent rulers, women raped on the streets, or someone who is robbed or beaten. True Sikhs can not turn a blind eye to such crimes, thinking that they are "the concern of others." It is a true Sikh duty to help those who suffer unjustly, in whatever way is available, whether it means alerting the police, calling for help, or literally defending those who can not defend themselves, even if it means putting themselves in danger.
