EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense devotion and unique rituals of the Festival of Mariatal, also known as Churrack-Pooja, Carak Puja or Chidi Mari, near Pondicheri, India. In this ancient Hindu tradition, devotees willingly suspend themselves by hooks in their skin from long poles and are lifted into the air as a tribute to the goddess Draupadi. The image showcases the incredible faith and commitment of these worshippers who endure physical pain for spiritual fulfillment. The handcoloured copperplate drawing by Andrea Bernieri beautifully depicts this awe-inspiring spectacle that has been practiced for generations. The festival is a testament to the deep-rooted traditions and cultural diversity found in India. It serves as a reminder of how religious beliefs can manifest in extraordinary ways, pushing individuals to transcend their own physical limitations in honor of their deities. This particular print is part of Giulio Ferrario's renowned collection titled "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all Peoples of the World" which was published in Florence, Italy in 1844. The attention to detail captured by Francois Solvyns' original artwork is further enhanced through Bernieri's masterful engraving technique. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported into a world where spirituality intertwines with human endurance – an enduring testament to mankind's unwavering devotion throughout history.
