EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Navesh Chitrakar, the majestic Boudhanath Stupa stands tall and proud, its reflection shimmering in the window of a serene monastery during Vesak Day in Kathmandu. The birth anniversary of Buddha is celebrated with great reverence on this auspicious day, filling the air with an aura of spirituality and devotion. The close-up shot beautifully captures the intricate details of both the stupa and the monastery's window frame. The creative use of composition allows for a perfect alignment between these two elements, creating a harmonious blend of architecture and nature. As we gaze at this mesmerizing image, our attention is drawn to a lone pigeon perched on top of the stupa's golden spire. Symbolic in many cultures as messengers or carriers of peace, it adds an element of tranquility to the scene. Surrounded by flags fluttering gently in the breeze, this photograph encapsulates not only Buddhism but also faith itself. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our busy lives, taking moments to worship and connect with something greater can bring solace and spiritual fulfillment. With no people present in the frame, we are invited to immerse ourselves fully into this tranquil setting. The absence highlights nature's beauty while emphasizing that religion transcends any individual or group; it is universal. Navesh Chitrakar has masterfully captured both religious devotion and natural serenity through his lens. This print serves as a visual testament to Nepal's rich
