That's what I fear might be correct, Duke of Marmelade, though this is hardly understandable given the amount of preparation that supposedly goes into such a visit.
The Crown Princess's visits to Bangladesh and Australia in 2004/5 for example had a tight and interesting schedule, connected to current events and issues both in terms of the Swedish business and cultural relations to these countries and charitable purposes.
By comparison, banging a gong to open the Bombay stock market day, congratulating the winner of some Nobel Quiz on stage, and visiting a SIDA project she is not even involved in as a patron somehow look pale as the actual highlights of this visit.
As for the turban issue... I am afraid that other pictures show the Crown Princess posing not only with a man's turban but putting a woman's veil on top of the turban by herself...
I doubt that any 'local' has ever seen the likes of it, and I'm surprised that the Princess would act in such a silly, ill-informed way. 'Funny' pictures maybe, but actually a major blunder.
This has been the only major visit abroad by her this year (she has remarkably cut down her traveling over the past couple of years), and I wouldn't label it a success, unfortunately.
