Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Does anyone know the real history or relevance of throwing rangh on wedding cards/bags of sugar or on the boys side after a kurmai?

Any reference to history would be helpful

Thanks

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh, it has no meaning at all. It's a cultural thing, not a Sikh thing.

Do you know the meaning/history behind why its thrown/flicked culturally?

it obviously does have a meaning, just not a meaning that's Sikhi related.

I will be honest, I do not know the meaning of this thing; (not something I've studied in great detail), but I'm not sure most people know the meaning either and just do it out of a blind-ritual.

I've never seen rang being thrown on wedding cards or at a kurmai, whether at the Gurdwara or at a venue/house.

Did u see it in India?

its definitely out of blind ritual but im trying to find the root of this ritual. its harmless really but I would still like to find out the reason behind it.

Ive seen it on pretty much every wedding card ever. its just like orange colouring in water flicked on the cards and bags of sugar.

Its not done at the Gurdwara but at the venue or house. On the kurmai before the boys side go home, the girls side flick the same orange coloured water on the boys side. They probably do it in India as well although ive never been to a wedding in India.

Sorry Paji I never seen this. Our families are Sikh, but they've never done this at any of the weddings or kurmai, so I can't comment on something that may be a ritual or done culturally.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
