Solution

The "5 Ks" of Sikhism are five items that Guru Gobind Singh commanded Khalsa Sikhs to wear at all times in 1699. They are:

  1. Kesh: Uncut hair, usually tied and wrapped in a Dastar (a style of turban). This represents the acceptance of God's will.

  2. Kangha: A wooden comb, symbolizing cleanliness.

  3. Kara: An iron or steel bracelet worn on the wrist, reminding the wearer of restraint in their actions and remembrance of God.

Please note that these are only three of the "5 Ks". The remaining two are Kachera (cotton undergarments) and Kirpan (a strapped curved sword).
