[www.keralites.net] Devout Sikh wears the world's largest turban that measures 645 metres takes him six hours

 

Devout Sikh wears the world's largest turban  that measures 645 metres that takes him six hours to put on and weighs 100lb

The holy man says his extra large headgear weighs a hefty 100lb and measures a staggering 645m (2,115 feet) when unwrapped - the same length as 13 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

In full attire, Mr Mauni also carries a sword and heavy bangles, which weigh an additional 87lb.

The height and width of his bulbous headgear makes entering doorways extremely difficult and getting into a car is impossible.

So Mr Mauni rides a motorcycle on his regular pilgrimages across the Punjab.

However, his efforts are impressing many in the Sikh community.

Gurpreet Singh, who affectionately refers to Mr Mauni as Babaji - which means grandfather - says the giant turban has helped reawaken love for their religion among younger people.

He said: 'These days many Sikh children choose to cut their hair and have forgotten to wear turbans. But Babaji remind us of its importance, which is very good.

'The Sikh community can learn a lot from him and our children can learn that they should grow their hair and wear a turban.'
