"Nihangs or Nihang Singhs, originally known as Akalis or Akali Nihangs, are endearingly designated the Guru's knights or the Guru's beloved, for the military ambience they still carry about them and the heroic style they continue to cultivate. They constitute a distinct order among the Sikhs and are readily recognised by their dark blue loose apparel and their ample, peaked turbans festooned with quoits, insignia of the Khalsa and rosaries, all made of steel. They are always armed, and are usually seen mounted heavily laden with weapons such as swords, daggers, spears, rifles, shot-guns and pistols."
"The Encyclopaedia of Sikhism", Ed-Chief Harbans Singh
