Seven Wraps
Simran watches her dad tie his dastar in the mirror — seven careful wraps — while two family portraits look on from the wall.
From Simran Kaur and the Picture — the third book in the Five Kakars series.
Simran sits on the landing stairs and watches her dad adjust his dastar in the mirror. On the wall, two family portraits remind her that her dark hair goes all the way back — through her nani, her dadi, her dad — to Guru Gobind Singh Ji's gift.
What to colour: the dastar, the two family portraits, Simran's long braid, the bedroom mirror.
