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]
In the Qulasta
Several prayers in the Qulasta are recited when putting on the burzinqa, including prayers 1, 3, and 5.[2]
