Decorative turban accessories are inexpensive. Turban pins cost about $3 for a pack of 100, a decorative baaj is roughly $3 to $5 each depending on type and size, and a pagg fifty sits around $4. Kitting out a turban with pins and a baaj usually comes to under $10 in total. That is what decorative turban pins and baaj cost for most everyday and formal styles.

How Much Do Decorative Turban Pins and Baaj Cost?

These are among the most affordable Sikh articles you can buy, because each uses very little material. Pins are sold in bulk, so a single small pack lasts a long time. A baaj, the decorative ornament worn on the front of a turban or dumalla, costs a little more and varies with its style and size, but even the larger ones stay cheap. A pagg fifty, the pointed decorative cloth tucked into the turban, sits in the same low band. You can see the full set together in our turban accessories collection.

What Is a Baaj, and What Does It Cost?

A baaj is a decorative piece worn at the front of the turban or dumalla to finish the look, and it comes in a few styles at different prices. The common options are:

• Traditional baaj: the classic shape, about $3 for a small and $5 for a large.

• Pocket baaj: a compact version, around $3.

• Type 1 baaj: a slightly different design, about $4 for a small and $5 for a large.

• Large baaj: the biggest, most eye-catching option, about $5.

So whichever style you prefer, a decorative baaj costs between $3 and $5. The price simply reflects the size and design, not a difference in quality, so you can choose on look alone.

Turban Pins and Pagg Fifty Prices

Turban pins do the practical work of holding the layers of cloth neatly in place, and they are the cheapest item of all. A pack of around 100 pagg pins costs about $3, which lasts most people a very long time since only a few are used per tie.

A pagg fifty is the decorative pointed cloth that sits at the front of the turban for a sharper, more finished look. A plain pagg fifty costs about $4 and comes in colours like black and white, so you can match or contrast it with your turban.

Prices at a Glance

Here is the quick summary in Australian dollars.

Prices are current at the time of writing. As you can see, the whole category sits in a tight, affordable band.

What Affects the Price

Only a couple of things move the cost, and neither is dramatic:

• Size. A large baaj costs a little more than a small one, simply because it uses more material.

• Style. The different baaj designs vary by a dollar or two, based on the shape and detail.

• Pack size for pins. Pins are sold in bulk, so the small pack price covers many uses rather than a single pin.

There is no premium tier to worry about here. Even the dearest single item is only around $5, so you can choose based on the look you want rather than the budget.

How to Put a Set Together

Because everything is so affordable, most people buy a small set rather than a single item. A practical starter kit is one pack of pins, one baaj in your preferred style, and a fifty to match, which together come to under $10. That covers both the practical side, holding the turban neatly, and the decorative side, finishing the front for formal occasions or the Gurdwara. If you tie a dumalla, the front ornaments in the turban accessories collection are worth browsing alongside the baaj.

Where to Buy Turban Pins and Baaj in Australia

The easiest option for Australian buyers is an Australian-based Sikh store, so small, low-cost items arrive quickly without overseas shipping that can cost more than the products themselves. At Sikh Store you can add pins, a baaj, and a fifty to one order and have them delivered across Australia and Oceania, which keeps the whole set both cheap and convenient.
