EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Navesh Chitrakar, the bare feet of devotees take center stage as they stand on the bank of the Hanumante River during the Swasthani Brata Katha festival in Bhaktapur, Nepal. The image captures a moment of deep devotion and reverence as these worshippers offer their prayers to Hindu deities. The unrecognizable figures, with their feet firmly planted on the riverbank, reflect a sense of unity and spirituality. Each foot is beautifully captured, showcasing its unique reflection in the water below. This creative use of body parts highlights the significance placed on rituals and traditions within Hinduism. Dressed in traditional clothes, these real people come together in formation along the river's edge. The air is filled with an aura of religious fervor as they engage in this sacred ceremony. Against a backdrop of nature's beauty and tranquility, this gathering demonstrates how faith can bring individuals closer to both themselves and their environment. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded that religion has always played an integral role in shaping societies around the world. It serves as a guiding force for many who seek solace and meaning amidst life's uncertainties. Through moments like these captured by Chitrakar's lens, we witness firsthand how ancient customs continue to thrive even amidst modern times.
