EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a powerful moment of unity and devotion. Pakistani and Indian Muslim pilgrims gather together in prayer, their faces turned towards Mecca, as they prepare to embark on a sacred journey. The image is set in the holy city of Ajmer, Rajasthan, India, adjacent to the Tomb of Saint Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti. The square where this spiritual gathering takes place holds immense significance for followers of the Sufi faith. Saint Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti, known as "the water bearer" is revered as the founder of this mystical branch of Islam. His tomb stands tall nearby, attracting countless believers seeking solace and blessings. Dating back to 1965, this print transports us back in time while also capturing timeless traditions that have endured for centuries. The architectural elements surrounding the worshippers showcase exquisite Islamic artistry with domes and intricate decorations adorning the building. What makes this image particularly poignant is its depiction of harmony between Pakistani and Indian Muslims despite historical tensions between these neighboring countries. In an act of shared reverence towards their faith's holiest site - Mecca - these pilgrims demonstrate that religious devotion transcends borders. Italian photographer Folco Quilici skillfully captured this profound moment through his lens from Alinari studios. Through his work, he invites viewers to witness not only a snapshot frozen in time but also an enduring testament to humanity's capacity for unity amidst diversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print today, it serves as a reminder that regardless of our differences or backgrounds, we are all capable of coming together under one common purpose: our shared spirituality and quest for divine connection.
