The Kara is one of the five Ks of Sikhism, the others being the Kesh (uncut hair), the Kanga (wooden comb), the Kaccha (specially designed shorts) and the Kirpan (sword).
Perhaps it should be borne in mind, too, that the Kara is only one of the five Ks, the symbols of Sikh identity.
Ms Mountfield said the Kara was one of the five Ks of Sikhism.
