A Kara That Holds More Than Metal

As a Sikh myself, I understand that a Kara is not just worn—it is lived. From the very first Kara put on a child’s wrist at birth to the one gifted at special occasions our each Kara comes with love, blessings & the teachings of Guru Sahib.

At SikhAccessories, every Kara in our collection is crafted with deep respect to its spiritual meaning, so that it becomes more than an ornament—it becomes a lifelong companion of faith, unity & courage.

The Significance of the Sikh Kara

A Kara is way more than an accessory. It is a sacred reminder of the values of Sikh’s live by—truth, humility, discipline and most importantly equality. The perfect circle of it with no beginning and no end reflects the eternal nature of God.

Whether worn by a child starting their journey of Sikhi, an adult balancing life’s duties, or an elder guiding the younger generation, the Kara keeps us all connected to the same faith and principles.

The Origin of the Sikh Kara

The Kara was first introduced by the 10th Guru Sahib, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, on the auspicious day of Vaisakhi in 1699. It was established as one of the five Kakars—holy articles of faith to be worn by all Amritdhari Sikhs.

Traditionally made from Sarbloh (iron), its unbroken circle symbolizes eternity—the endless connection between the Sikh and Waheguru. More than just a bracelet guru ji’s intention behind this kara to be a constant reminder for Sikhs to remain humble, disciplined & courageous, no matter where life may lead them.

How to Choose the Right Kara

Choosing a Kara is a personal decision, and I always suggest picking one that feels right for your connection with Sikhi:

• Material: Sarbloh for tradition, stainless steel for durability, silver-accented for special gifting.
• Size: Measure your wrist for a snug yet comfortable fit.
• Design: Plain for minimalism, engraved to symbolize internal reflection.
