A kara
ਕੜਾ
کڑا कड़ा KADA, is a steel or iron (sarb loh)
Bracelet, worn by all initiated Sikhs. It is one of the five kakars or 5Ks —
external articles of faith — that identify a Sikh as dedicated to their
religious order. The kara was instituted by the tenth Sikh Guru Gobind singh at
the Baisakhi Amrit Sanskarn in 1699. Guru Gobind Singh Ji explained:


He does
not recognize anyone else except me, not even the bestowal of charities,
performance of merciful acts, austerities and restraint on pilgrim-stations;
the perfect light of the Lord illuminates his heart, then consider him as the
immaculate Khalsa.


The kara
is to constantly remind the Sikh disciple to do God's work, a constant reminder
of the Sikh's mission on this earth and that he or she must carry out righteous
and true deeds and actions, keeping with the advice given by the Guru. The Kara
is a symbol of unbreakable attachment and commitment to God. It is in the shape
of a circle which has no beginning and no end, like the eternal nature of God.
It is also a symbol of the Sikh brotherhood. As the Sikhs' holy text, the Guru
Granth Sahib Ji says, "In the tenth month, you were made into a human
being, O my merchant friend, and you were given your allotted time to perform
good deeds." Similarly, Bhagat Kabir reminds the Sikh to always keep one's
consciousness with God: "With your hands and feet, do all your work, but
let your consciousness remain with the Immaculate Lord."

The basic
kara is a simple unadorned steel bracelet, but other forms exist. It was
historically used like a Knuckle-duster for hand-to-hand combat. Battlefield
variations include kara with spikes or sharp edges. Sikh soldiers of the
British Indian army would settle disputes by competing in a form of boxing
known as loh-musti (lit. iron fist) with a kara on one hand.
