The burzinqa (Classical Mandaic : ࡁࡅࡓࡆࡉࡍࡒࡀ ) is a turban worn by Mandaean men during baptismal ceremonial rituals. It forms the upper end of a lengthy piece of cloth, with the lower end making up the pandama or mouth-veil.[1]
Several prayers in the Qolasta are recited when putting on the burzinqa, including prayers 1 , 3 , and 5 .[2]
