EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Rupak De Chowdhuri, an artisan is seen meticulously hanging decorative pieces at a pandal in Kolkata, India. The temporary platform is being prepared for the upcoming Hindu festival of Durga Puja. The low angle view adds depth and perspective to the image, while the artisan remains unrecognizable, shrouded in shadows. The skilled craftsman's hands are skillfully positioned as he carefully places each ornament with devotion and precision. This unique capture showcases the creative use of body parts as well as the elaborate decoration that goes into making these pandals truly mesmerizing. Durga Puja holds immense significance in Hindu religion and is celebrated with great fervor across India. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil and pays homage to Goddess Durga. The photograph beautifully captures a moment filled with faith and tradition. The brown hues prevalent throughout the image add warmth to this visual narrative, transporting viewers into this sacred space where people come together to celebrate their beliefs. Through this top picture from Reuters Images, we catch a glimpse of Indian culture at its finest - vibrant, rich in heritage, and deeply rooted in spirituality. Rupak De Chowdhuri's lens has immortalized this fleeting moment during preparations for one of India's most cherished festivals – a testament to his talent for capturing both beauty and cultural significance through his photography.
