EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, we witness the skillful hands of an artisan as he delicately paints an earthen lamp at a workshop in Kolkata. The image captures the essence of preparation and anticipation ahead of the Hindu festival of Diwali, which is celebrated with great fervor in India. The vibrant colors used by the artisan bring life to the humble clay lamp, showcasing his talent and dedication to his craft. Each stroke of paint adds a touch of beauty and elegance to this traditional symbol that holds deep significance during Diwali. Diwali, known as the festival of lights, illuminates homes across India on October 17th. These earthen lamps play a crucial role in decorating houses during this auspicious occasion. As darkness descends, these lamps are lit to symbolize victory over darkness and ignorance. The photograph not only showcases the artistic prowess but also sheds light on Indian society's rich cultural heritage and religious traditions. It serves as a reminder that festivals like Diwali are more than just celebrations; they hold immense spiritual value for millions around the world. Jayanta Shaw's lens beautifully captures this moment frozen in time – an artist immersed in his work, pouring love into every brushstroke. This image stands as a testament to human creativity and devotion while offering us a glimpse into one aspect of India's diverse tapestry.
