[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken at Golden Temple,Amritsar: Golden temple(Official Name: Harmandir Shaib according to Sikhism)is most important shrine for Sikhs.He is one of the guards of this temple.He belongs to Sikh Military order(the Blue turban represents this).In 15th/16th Century A.D the Temple & Sikhs needed a protection from mughals & other Muslim invaders.Hence a sikh military order was formed for protection.But now,security men more or less look after pilgrims or visitors.

Hello Nara,
This is a fine portrait of special man!
I notice he is not looking into the camera, maybe he has his reasons for that...
Expression is well captured, rich colours and sharp fine details!
Greetings,
