EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by NP, we are transported to the serene temple of Wangdue Phodrang Dzong in western Bhutan. The image showcases two Buddhist monks dressed in vibrant red robes as they blow into long horns known as dung-chen. These magnificent copper or brass instruments, with their intricate sections, emit a deep and powerful sound that resonates throughout the temple. The Wangdue Phodrang Dzong itself stands proudly in the background, an impressive 17th-century fortress that exudes Bhutanese architectural beauty. Its ornate woodwork and grandeur serve as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Buddhism in this region. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost hear the melodic tones produced by these ceremonial horns reverberating through the air. It is a moment frozen in time, capturing both the spiritual devotion of these dedicated monks and the sacred atmosphere within this religious sanctuary. This image not only offers us a glimpse into Bhutan's profound Buddhist traditions but also serves as a reminder of how music can play an integral role in religious rituals and ceremonies. The harmonious blend of spirituality and artistry depicted here truly encapsulates the essence of Buddhism within its visual frame.
