The Sikh Kara, a simple steel bracelet worn by Sikhs, is far more than just a piece of jewelry. It is one of the five articles of faith, known as the Five Ks (Kesh, Kangha, Kara, Kachera, and Kirpan) that committed Sikhs, especially those initiated into the Khalsa (the collective body of baptized Sikhs), wear daily as symbols of their dedication to the principles of Sikhism.
