Chand Tora Dumalla
http://www.punjabiturban.com/
The Chand Tora Dumalla is the style of turban generally worn by Nihang Sikhs. This is a warrior style turban meant for going into battle.
The "Chand Tora" is a metal symbol consisting of a crescent and a double edged sword, it is held in place at the front of the turban by a woven chainmail cord tied in a pattern within the turban to protect the head from slashing weapons.
The Chand
http://www.punjabiturban.com/
Sanatan Nihangs (Hindu-minded Nihangs) say that the Chand represent the Shiva Lingam (Shivling), where one worships the bits on the bottom of the chand, which represent Shiva's powers of regeneration, Shakti or strength.
This story is, however contradictory to Gurbani, where although many Hindu Gods may be mentioned, they are not worshiped, as there is only one Akaal, (Waheguru or God) hailed as the most powerful and only supreme being. The Chand actually is a symbol of Shiva who is always depicted with a crescent moon in his hair. Shiva is considered a very powerful mythological figure. So the crescent (Chand) being in the Dumalla along with a Khanda and Kirpan shows that Singh's are as mighty, if not more, than Shiva.

Rajastani Pagari
Rajasthani princes (or Rajputs) wearing a pagri
Turbans worn in Rajastan are referred to as the Pagari. They vary in style, colour and size. They also indicate a wearer's social class, caste, region and the occasion it being worn for. Its shape and size may also vary with the climatic conditions of the different regions. Turbans in the hot desert areas are large and loose. Farmers and shepherds, who need constant protection from the elements of nature, wear some of the biggest turbans. The Rajasthani turban also has many practical functions. Exhausted travellers use it as a pillow, a blanket or a towel. It can be used to strain muddy water. An unravelled turban can also be used as a rope to draw water from a well with a bucket Prominent styles are Pencha, Sela and Safa, although several local variants exist. A conventional Pagari is usually 82 feet long and 8 inches wide. A Safa is shorter and broader. Ordinarily a turban of a single colour is worn. However, turbans of one of more colours may be worn by the elite or during special occasions such as festivals or weddings, etc[4]. Rajasthani turbans are a prominent tourist attraction. Tourists are often encouraged to participate in turban-tying competitions
