In both Sikh and Hindu traditions, the kada is far more than a piece of jewelry. It is a symbol of spirituality, strength, protection, and commitment to one’s values. While kadas are commonly worn in steel or iron, silver kadas have gained popularity for their purity, beauty, and cultural depth.
At SilverAdda, we celebrate this sacred heritage through our thoughtfully designed silver kadas for men—blending tradition with elegance.
🛕 In Sikhism: The Kada as a Kakkar
In the Sikh faith, the kada is one of the five Ks (Kakkars)—five articles of faith that baptized Sikhs are commanded to wear. Here’s what it represents:
-
Eternal Bond: The circular shape signifies the eternity of God, with no beginning and no end.
-
Discipline & Remembrance: A constant reminder to live a righteous, disciplined life.
-
Unity & Brotherhood: It reflects equality, as it’s worn by all Sikhs regardless of caste or status.
-
Strength & Protection: Traditionally made of iron to represent inner strength, silver is also seen as a symbol of spiritual clarity and peace.
Though iron is traditional, many Sikhs opt for silver kadas as a more refined version for daily wear—especially when they want a lighter, hypoallergenic, or elegant alternative.
🔱 In Hinduism: Purity and Protection
In Hindu culture, the kada has deep roots in rituals, astrology, and symbolism:
-
Spiritual Shield: Often worn on the right wrist, a silver kada is believed to protect the wearer from negative energies.
-
Astrological Balance: Silver, ruled by the moon, is associated with calmness, emotional balance, and mental clarity.
-
Traditional Significance: Many priests, gurus, and devotees wear silver kadas as part of religious practices and offerings.
-
Ritual Wear: It’s often gifted during pujas, weddings, and upanayanams (sacred thread ceremonies) as a sign of blessings and purity.
🤝 Where Tradition Meets Style
While the meaning behind a kada is deep, it’s also a style statement in modern times. The silver kada blends spiritual significance with an aesthetic that works in both traditional and contemporary settings.

-
