A collector offers a set of very rare pictures for sale on eBay. The pictures, according to our information taken in September 1972 at a Karate studio in Los Angeles, show Elvis wearing a turban. The first owner of the candid pictures was Dave Hebler, who kept them in his personal possession. In fact, in at least one of the pictures Elvis is seen with Dave Hebler next to him.

Did Elvis have his own turban or was this simply a prop borrowed from a karate student?

Even as a long time elvis fan (1955) when i see photos like this, it seems like Elvis should have played center ring at Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus. His choice of clothing was really odd in some cases.

There was a story about Elvis going to the home of one of the Hilton employees in 1972 or 1973 to 'heal' his sick child. In the story Elvis is wearing a turban so since these pictures are from that era and Elvis is wearing a turban with a child in at least one of the photos could these be from that visit? I think the story was first relayed in Elvis: What Happend?

When I see Elvis like this and hear the stories of healing sick children , John Lennon almost seems normal to me. Elvis was out of control at times.
