In Mandaeism, the taga (Classical Mandaic: ࡕࡀࡂࡀ) is a white crown traditionally made of silk that is used during Mandaean religious rituals. The taga is a white crown which always takes on masculine symbolism, while the klila (myrtle wreath) is a feminine symbol that complements the taga.[1][2]

Use in rituals

Along with the klila, the taga is used during most Mandaean rituals, including masbuta, masiqta, and priest initiation rituals.[3]

In the Qolasta

Further information: Qolasta § List of prayers

Several prayers in the Qolasta are recited when consecrating and putting on the taga.[4]
