1. Kesh (uncut hair)
2. Kara (a steel bracelet)
3. Kanga (a wooden comb)
4. Kaccha (cotton underwear)
5. Kirpan (steel sword)
* The above are listed in the order in which they are normally given. The native language of Sikhism is Punjabi, so these are transliterations, and spellings can vary. Kesh is also spelt Kes; Kara is spelt Karha; Kanga as Kangha; Kaccha as Kachh, Kacchera and Kachera. Kirpan alone appears to be rendered one way in English.
