Apparently the turbans can involve hundreds of metres of cloth, umpteen metallic religious symbols and weigh around 25 kg. Cannabis use is not unknown among some orders, though generally it’s ingested rather than smoked.
Is that his wife in the background, helping to hold his headgear up? Once again, the sexist male hegemony ruthlessly exploits downtrodden womanhood! This is an outrage! ... er, no, wait a minute ... he's not a white Anglo-Saxon male ... ummm, I withdraw all I just said.
He laughs at your puny Western hats
His wife, not so much.

Oh.
Actually, for the one above and if the link behaves, he's actually sitting in a truck, and the woman is actually just seated behind him . . .
