Sarangi in Jaipur: Elderly Musician on Pink City Street

An elderly Indian man sits cross-legged on a bustling Jaipur street in Rajasthan, playing a carved wooden sarangi with a bow. He wears a cream kurta, a saffron shawl, and a traditional pagri. The scene is bathed in the warm sunset light of the Pink City, with pink and sandstone buildings, ornate jali lattice screens, and colorful market stalls in the background. Dust motes float in the sunbeam; a scooter and pedestrians pass by as the musician draws the bow across the strings. Close attention to texture: weathered skin, wrinkles, beads and bangles, the gleam of strings, and the carved instrument’s grain. In the far distance, the hazy silhouette of Hawa Mahal hints at Jaipur’s grandeur. The image should feel cinematic and photorealistic, with high dynamic range, shallow depth of field, and a warm color palette of pinks, apricots, saffron, teal accents, and gold. Street-level viewpoint to capture cultural essence.
