EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, a devotee carrying offerings arrives to take part in the Swasthani Brata Katha festival in Bhaktapur, Nepal. The image showcases the essence of devotion and spirituality as the worshipper is seen up close, holding a basket filled with religious offerings. Although their identity remains unrecognizable, their hand can be seen firmly grasping the basket, symbolizing their commitment to this sacred ritual. The composition of the photograph creatively uses a view from above, allowing us to appreciate both the intricate details of the offering and gain a glimpse into the bustling interior of this Hindu ceremony. The image beautifully captures one individual amidst a sea of people who have come together to celebrate this traditional Hindu festival. As we observe this moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance that religion holds for many individuals around the world. The Swasthani Brata Katha festival serves as an occasion for worshippers to express their faith through acts of devotion and gift-giving. Against a backdrop of weathered exteriors and under clear skies on that day in January 2018, this photograph encapsulates both tradition and spirituality. Navesh Chitrakar's skillful photography allows us to witness firsthand how religion continues to play an integral role in shaping communities and providing solace during times of celebration or hardship. This print serves as a visual testament to humanity's enduring connection with faith and its ability to unite people from all walks of life.
