When Guru Gobind Singh Ji baptized the five beloveds they came out from the tents wearing blue attire. There is one saying which laid the foundation that every Nihang will have to wear blue clothes. Another saying goes like this; one day Sahibzada Fateh Singh ji came in front of Guru Gobind Singh Ji wearing blue ‘Dumalla’, on seeing this guru announced that people who will wear this dress will form a ‘Panth’ in itself. Another anecdote goes like this; when guru ji removed the cloak of ‘Uch De Peer’ he tied a part of it to his ‘Kartar’. That was the origin of blue attire community.
