Kara

The Kara is an iron or steel bracelet worn on the wrist. The circular design of the kara signifies the oneness and eternity of God. By wearing it on the wrist, it is a reminder to the wearer to bind one’s will to the will of God. By wearing it on the wrist that one uses the most, it also serves as an enjoinder to a Sikh to use one’s hands for the benefit of humankind.
