Avtar Singh Mauni, owner of the world's longest and heaviest turban. - Lemmy.World

Neck be like : ADIOS
And he’s balancing on a motorcycle with that thing on too!
World’s most cushioned motorcycle helmet.

He be like ā€œmas turbanā€.

Spanish speakers be like:

According to the internet the turban fabric is 645 meters long, weighs 100lbs and takes several hours of his day to put on… His neck must look like a question mark lol
If he wears it everyday I imagine he must feel a lot lighter at the end of the day like there's less gravity.
Also 100 lb is 45.35924 kg apparently.
So what you’re saying is, this guy is a super saiyan?
He is wearing the correct orange color for Master Roshi’s dojo…
A question mark or a redwood stump.

weighs 100lbs

How much is that in normal metrics?

about 4 coffee tables.
A large/American sized 10 year old human. I.e. About 45 kilos
roughly eleven adult bald eagles, or 110 american footballs
*puffs* ā€œWhoa, dude, you know what would be so cool, man?ā€ - Singh Mauni some time ago, allegedly
You don’t need drugs when you have religion. With ā€˜Singh’ in his name, he’s most likely a Sikh and Sikhs are required to wear turbans. This is basically his way of being the Sikhest Sikh that ever put on a turban. It’s like a neck-hurting equivalent of the people who wear Jesus-themed T-shirts and get into a car covered in Jesus bumper stickers.

He’s definitely Sikh, specifically Nihang, judging by the decorations on his Dumalla. Nihang Sikhs are traditionally warriors, and would wear turbans with chainmail woven inside to act as armor against slashing weapons. They also typically wear blue, and the steel bangles are also typical.

Spot on analogy with the bumper stickers and t-shirts. This is performative, and images of him putting it on reveal that he shaves his head. Kesh, or unshorn hair, is one of the five Ks of Sikhism, a core tenet of their faith. Maybe the weight of the turban is rubbing the hair off his head, but it is weird.

And that’s a real dagger tucked into his sash. (I learned a bit about fighting Sikhs from reading Neal Stephenson’s Termination Shock, and watching a load of YouTube videos.)
The Sikh dagger (kirpan) must be worn and sheathed, but does not have to be sharp. So it is not necessarily a functional dagger.

If he’s a Nihang wearing the world’s biggest turban and 8 ridiculously gigantic karas, then, my friend, taya-ji there definitely sharpened his kirpan. 🤣

He might be stoned, too.

Legit though, look at those arms. Dude is jacked!
for real, those clothes are doing a lot of heavy lifting (🤭) in hiding those shoulders. Homie could probably tag-in for Sisyphus for a lil while
My dude here must have a swole neck.
Considering what you can see of his arms, he’s got a swole everything.
His doctor was like ā€œHey man, you gotta take your turban off and put on a motorcycle helmet.ā€
And he was like ā€œNah, bro, what if I just wore a bigger turban?ā€
And his doctor was like ā€œDude, you’d need a turban that’s like 100lbs to offer you the same protection as a good helmet.ā€
Avtar: ā€œBet.ā€
You’re joking, but that’s actually the idea behind all of the chainmail and metal woven into the turban. It’s basically a traditional military helmet.
I had no idea. That’s pretty rad, to be honest.
They weave chainmail into turbans? TIL
Damn dude, save some pussy for the rest of us. Modern day Fonz shit right there.
Fonz ain’t got shit on this guy.

At least he shouldn’t have to worry about a helmet.
There was actually a study that showed turbans are surprisingly good at absorbing rotational force and they might’ve helped inspire MIPS on modern bicycle helmets.

Well if i was told the correct thing one of the main reasons Shiks wore turbans in the past was to protect their heads when they fell off their horses in battle. So yeah, a helmet.

Also apparently the ā€œbraceletsā€ were to tie their swords to so if they dropped it while on a horse it wouldnt just fall leaving them weapon-less.

Who rides a motorcycle while wearing a sword. Kinda badass
That’s why he wears all that other nonsense - so you don’t notice the sword until it’s too late.
Mister Steal-Your-Girl-ā€˜s-Bath-Towel-To-Add-To-His-Turban does. That’s who.
Uh, okay?
This community is called mildly interesting and this pic is mildly interesting.
Missed that in /all, sorry.
Shove down that turban, steak that bike.
Boy I bet he smells like skraight up SHIT. LOL
Yeah, wear a helmet, guys!
I showed this to my wife and she said ā€˜well that seems like an easy thing to beat; I could just make a turban that’s longer and bigger than that.’
The man’s neck has been compressed into his body
This guy would totally say something like ā€œI would comment upon your mother, but cows are sacred in my country.ā€ And then ride off on his motorcycle before you could respond.

Haha

Or ignore you and say to your girlfriend ā€œOnce you go brown, you never frownā€ Then kick start his Royal Enfield to give her a moment to decide to hop on

Miss this Royal Enfields
this Avtar guy sure mastered turban bending
that seems like a hazard.
This guy is so badass that everyone else needs to wear a helmet when he passes by
