Photographer's Note
Kesh is the uncut hair of a Sikh male. A turban (Dastaar) is worn to protect the Kesh and guard the Dasam Duaar (10th Gate) - the spiritual opening at the top of the head. A turban should be understood as a spiritual crown - as well as a tourist attraction - when photographed at the Sri Ganj Gurdwara in Delhi.

Hi Ken
Absolutly incredible! Good blue colors, but I regret that the background is too present (even with f5.6)
Kind regards

Hello Ken,
Technically it could be improved on some, but the topic just stands out. Really impressive portrait, I love this one too. Good blues!

Astounding image, Sardonik!
I knew of the sikh custom of uncut hair in neat turbans, but I'd never imagined anything of this scale!
The bright blue colour and beautiful decorations make it quite spectacular.
Aside from your theme, your image is very well done, perfect focus on your subject, and a slightly blurred background just distinctive enough to communicate urban Delhi.
Blue frame picks out your subject even more.
Well captured!
