This print showcases the remnants of devotion and celebration left by devotees on the banks of the sacred river Sabarmati in Ahmedabad, India. The idols of Hindu Goddess Dashama stand proudly, a testament to faith and religious fervor. Taken a day after the vibrant "Dashama" festival, this image captures the essence of traditional worship and ritual. The colorful array of idols creates a mesmerizing sight against the backdrop of the flowing river. Each idol represents an offering made by devotees during this auspicious occasion. These religious symbols hold deep significance for followers, embodying their unwavering belief in Hinduism. Photographer Amit Dave skillfully captures not only these multiple idols but also their creative use as expressions of devotion. With no people present in the frame, attention is solely drawn to these beautiful statues that symbolize divinity and spirituality. The photograph serves as a reminder of how festivals like Dashama bring communities together to celebrate their shared beliefs. It highlights both the cultural richness and religious diversity found in India. Through his lens, Amit Dave encapsulates a moment frozen in time – one that reflects both reverence for tradition and an enduring connection between humans and deities. This image stands as a visual testament to faith's power to inspire awe-inspiring displays such as this one along the serene banks of Sabarmati River.
