Tanka

The Tanka is a holy headdress worn by both women in the Temple and in daily life. According to Religious law, Women, must always wear their Tanka. The only time she may take it off is to bathe or when she is to be christened in the pure waters in the temple marking her path to women hood. It must remain on underneath the Kokoshnik. Although strictly speaking women are not supposed to show their long hair, in modern times, women have been known to show a little bit of their hair. The Men also were a similar headdress called the Tananka which tends to be shorter as men don't grow out their hair as women do. Usually the bigger and longer your Tanka will represent how wealthy you are and your status within the Temple and Religious Society.
