Shikha (hairstyle)

Shikha is a special hairstyle that some people in India wear. It involves shaving a line of hair on top of your head, from the front to the back. This line of hair is usually longer than the rest of the hair on your head. The shikha is an important symbol in Hindu culture, and is often associated with spirituality and strength. In some customs, the shikha is also seen as a way to show respect to the gods and goddesses. The word shikha comes from the Sanskrit language and means "tip" or "peak".
