Sightings of the Northern goshawk (called 'Baaj' / ਬਾਜ਼ in Punjabi) are considered auspicious.
While Sikh theology and code of conduct is not supposed to approve of superstitions,[1] in practice some Sikhs are observed to persist in some superstitious practices, including some of those followed due to the influence of other communities.[1]
For example sneezing before an important event is considered inauspicious, and certain days of the week are considered taboo for washing hair. Newlyweds are welcomed by an oil pouring ritual.[1] Sightings of a bird called 'Baaj' (variously translated as hawk/falcon/eagle) are considered auspicious.[2] One of the points of the Sikh Rehat Maryada states that a single soul or entity existed in ten Gurus.[1] Aartis are performed on certain occasions at certain places while rehat maryada does not prescribe the same.[1] A substantial amount of milk is used to wash the floor of the Golden Temple.[3] The Sikh diaspora is seen to compromise or oppose safety and security measures of various institutions of countries to maintain their hair-related practices.[1]
