Sikhs are required to carry five articles of faith with them at all times as a reminder of their beliefs. They are:
Kesh Hair must never be cut, and it is kept wrapped in a turban.
Kanga A comb is used to brush the hair twice a day and to help keep the turban neat.
Kara The bracelet is worn on the right wrist and symbolizes restraint from evil deeds.
Kirpan The small dagger is a symbol of courage and self-sacrifice and must never be used to attack, although it can be used for protection if other methods of defense have failed.
Kachehra The undershorts remind Sikhs of their devotion to a faithful life
