Guru Gobind Singh was the son of Guru Teg Bahadur, who was the ninth Sikh guru. Guru Gobind Singh became a guru after the beheading of his father by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
The tenth guru founded the Khalsa in 1699 and introduced five articles of faith for the members of the community, namely uncut hair (Kesh), a wooden comb (Kangha), an iron or steel bracelet worn on the wrist (Kara), a sword or dagger (Kirpan) and short breeches (Kacchera).
