EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, devotees can be seen walking along a bridge at the premises of the Pashupatinath Temple during the Bala Chaturdashi festival in Kathmandu. The image, captured by Navesh Chitrakar, beautifully portrays the essence of this religious ceremony. The devotees, their silhouettes illuminated against the darkness of night, create a mesmerizing sight as they make their way across the bridge. The back light adds an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing its spiritual significance. During this Hindu festival, worshippers honor their departed loved ones by lighting oil lamps and scattering seven types of grains known as "sat biu" along a designated route at the temple. This act symbolizes reverence for those who have passed away and serves as a reminder of their presence in our lives. The crowd gathered on the bridge showcases both unity and faith as people come together to partake in these sacred rituals. With copy space surrounding them, it is evident that each individual's journey holds personal meaning within this larger collective experience. Navesh Chitrakar's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites viewers to contemplate themes of spirituality and devotion. It serves as a powerful testament to Nepal's rich cultural heritage and offers us an opportunity to witness firsthand one of its most cherished traditions.
