EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the unique and intriguing Festival of Mariatal, also known as Chidi Mari or Churrack-Pooja, which takes place near Pondicherry, India. In this Hindu ritual, devotees suspend themselves from long poles using hooks pierced through their skin, in an act of devotion and honor to the goddess Draupadi. The crowd of onlookers, both in awe and reverence, gather around to witness this extraordinary spectacle. The devotees, with their bodies suspended in mid-air, display an unwavering commitment to their faith, as they are lifted higher and higher by their fellow worshippers. The use of hooks and suspension is believed to represent the union of the soul with the divine. In the foreground, an elegantly decorated elephant carrying a palanquin adds to the grandeur and opulence of the scene. The handcoloured copperplate drawing, engraved by Andrea Bernieri after Francois Solvyns, captures the essence of this ancient and modern costumes of all the Peoples of the World, as documented by Giulio Ferrario in 1844. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring this remarkable moment in time to life, allowing us to witness the rich and diverse cultural traditions of India.
