The Dastar Bandi competition was more than just a skill-based event it was a powerful statement of faith, identity, and inner strength. Organized to nurture Sikh values in impressionable minds, the event focused on instilling the importance of the Dastar, a sacred crown of responsibility, courage, and legacy. Through this activity, students learned that the Dastar is a cloth that represents the centuries of sacrifice and dignity.

Students took the stage to tie their Dastars, demonstrating skill, pride, and reverence. From neatly wrapped folds to majestic colors representing their unique style, the atmosphere reflected a deep spiritual connection. The Principal addressed the gathering with moving words “The Sikh turban is not just a piece of cloth, but a symbol with hundreds of years of our history and heritage wrapped in it. May it always be a reminder for you to stand up for yourself and others who need help in this world.”

With a perfect balance of Sikh tenets and modern education, they are being molded into role models ready to stand tall in their Dastars, leading with courage, humility, and wisdom.
