EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image captured by Navesh Chitrakar, the hand of a devoted worshipper delicately sprinkles rice grains onto the mask of Bhairab during the chariot festival in Lalitpur, Nepal. The festival is held to honor Rato Machhindranath, revered as the god of rain by both Hindus and Buddhists. As drought poses a threat to the rice harvest season, people gather to pray for abundant rainfall. The photograph beautifully portrays an act of faith and devotion as the anonymous devotee offers her prayers. Her hand, adorned with traditional bracelets and henna patterns, symbolizes her deep-rooted belief in seeking blessings from Machhindranath. The intricate details on the mask add an atmospheric touch to this religious ceremony. This image captures a moment frozen in time - a celebration where real people come together to celebrate their shared beliefs and traditions. It showcases how religion can be a creative force that brings communities closer while fostering hope for prosperity. Chitrakar's composition highlights not only the worshipper's arm but also draws attention to every grain of rice falling gently upon Bhairab's mask. This full-frame shot allows us to immerse ourselves in this sacred ritual and appreciate its significance within Nepalese culture. Overall, this powerful photograph encapsulates spirituality, tradition, and unity through one simple yet profound gesture – offering prayers for divine intervention during times of need.
