EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene in Puri, Orissa, India. The image showcases the massive car of the Hindu god Juggernaut, also known as Lord of the World, being fervently dragged by devoted worshippers. This moment is frozen in time by an English photographer from the 20th century. The sheer size and weight of this divine vehicle are awe-inspiring. As it moves forward with great effort, surrounded by a sea of devotees, one can sense their unwavering devotion to their faith. The wheels of the car seem almost burdened under its immense weight, symbolizing both the physical and spiritual significance attached to this ceremonial act. This historic photograph offers a glimpse into Indian culture and religious practices that have been passed down through generations. It speaks volumes about the deep-rooted traditions and beliefs that shape people's lives in this part of Asia. The image evokes feelings of wonderment and reverence for these devotees who willingly participate in such arduous rituals to honor their gods. It serves as a reminder that religion has always played a vital role in shaping societies worldwide. As we observe this poignant moment frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when cars were not just modes of transportation but vessels carrying profound cultural significance.
