EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Leonard de Selva, we are transported to a time and place where marriage customs among Indians were celebrated with great fervor. The image showcases a unique tradition where the groom carries his wife on his back while others fire rifles in jubilation. The scene is filled with energy and excitement as the couple embarks on their journey together, symbolizing strength, unity, and support. The groom's determination is evident as he effortlessly carries his bride, showcasing his commitment to protect and care for her throughout their married life. Surrounding them, friends and family members joyfully fire rifles into the air, adding an element of grandeur to the occasion. This act not only signifies celebration but also serves as a way to ward off evil spirits or any obstacles that may come their way. Through this powerful visual narrative, de Selva beautifully captures the essence of Indian wedding traditions - rich in culture and steeped in symbolism. It reminds us of the diverse customs that exist across different cultures around the world. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of love's ability to transcend borders and unite people from all walks of life. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of marriage customs that have been passed down through generations – connecting us deeply with our roots while celebrating our shared humanity.
