EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Navesh Chitrakar, we witness the mesmerizing power of light as it illuminates a devotee during the Swasthani Brata Katha festival in Bhaktapur, Nepal. The worshipper remains unrecognizable, her silhouette blending seamlessly with the picturesque environment. As she walks back from offering prayers, her shadow dances gracefully against a weathered wall. The creative use of sunlight adds an ethereal quality to the scene, casting a warm glow on both the devotee and her surroundings. The air is filled with spirituality and reverence as this Hindu religious ceremony takes place amidst nature's embrace. This single moment captured by Chitrakar encapsulates the essence of tradition and faith that permeate through every aspect of this ancient ritual. With ample copy space around the subject, our attention is drawn solely to this one individual who embodies devotion and piety. Through his lens, Chitrakar invites us to contemplate not only on religion but also on humanity's connection with something greater than ourselves. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there are timeless customs that continue to shape our lives. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how light can illuminate not just physical spaces but also our souls - guiding us towards enlightenment and spiritual fulfillment.
