Nov 17, 2010: Dumalla

xoxoxoBruce · 11-17-2010, 03:23 AM

A dumalla, in this case the worlds largest dumalla, is warrior turban.

This is Baba Major Singh, he's a Nihang Sikh, an order of monk-warriors.

I would think it would be a little hard to fight with that turban on, so it must be ceremonial.
1300 feet of fabric, plus all the hardware, would be kind of heavy.
He must walk like those charm school girls with a book on their head, like in the old movies.

The assembly.

Awesome.

He looks like he's walked off the set of a Harry Potter movie. Amirite?

I think I sat behind this guy at a movie once.

Looks like a dumb-alla to me.

Kind of like that poor guy in the first photo, with the little white turban? He got stuck sitting behind the giant turban on picture day.

Isn't the NFL looking for better helmets?

tribal safety pins. like!

Gravdigr · 11-17-2010, 04:00 PM

Where is his neck?

Sheldonrs · 11-17-2010, 04:31 PM

Maybe he's a wizard just starting school and that's the sorting hat.

I did think that, actually.

Only 100 hairpins? That's not much. I've had 30+ in a hairstyle for just a foot and a half of hair.

I promise, I'll call for help in the morning. First thing.
