A rumāl (Punjabi: ਰੁਮਾਲ) is a piece of clothing similar to a handkerchief or bandana. It is worn by men who cut their hair and other guests when they are in a gurdwara. Covering the head is respectful in Sikhism and if a man is not wearing a turban, then a rumāl must be worn before entering the gurdwara. Rumāls are also worn by Sikh children on their topknot called joora, and by Sikh males while engaging in athletic activities.
