EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Kamal Kishore, we witness the vibrant atmosphere of the Pushkar Fair in India's desert state of Rajasthan. The image showcases a group of Indian villagers engaged in an age-old tradition - carefully inspecting a majestic camel before making their purchase. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as these villagers meticulously examine every aspect of the camel, ensuring that they choose a strong and healthy animal to meet their needs. The Pushkar Fair holds great significance for these locals, as it offers them a unique opportunity to trade over 25,000 camels during this annual event. As one gazes at this photograph, they are transported into the heart of Rajasthan's cultural heritage. The dusty surroundings and traditional attire worn by both buyers and sellers add authenticity to the scene. This fair has become renowned worldwide for its grandeur and scale, earning it the title of "the world's largest camel fair". Kamal Kishore skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the spirit behind this ancient practice. Through his lens, he immortalizes moments that reflect India's rich traditions while showcasing its diverse landscapes. This remarkable print serves as a window into an extraordinary event where tradition meets commerce against the backdrop of Rajasthan's stunning desert landscape. It reminds us of our shared humanity and how cultures around the world continue to celebrate their heritage through such timeless rituals.
