In the photo, the woman who is clearly dressed for a wedding it some such occasion, can be seen wearing a loopy nose ring made of gold on top of her mask.
The woman’s image was shared on the microblogging site Twitter by IPS officer Dipanshu Kabra.
What appeared to be of interest to netizens, in particular, was the way the woman had pinned the nose ring to a cloth N-95 mask, essentially using it as a life-saving necessity as well as a fashion accessory.
Speaking to media at the time, the owner of the mask, Shankar Kurade had said that the mask was made of gold but was pretty thin and had very minute holes in it to help him breathe.
