EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Munish Sharma, we are transported to the bustling city of Amritsar in northern India. The image showcases a man diligently placing earthen lamps out to dry under the warm sun at his workshop. As Diwali, the annual Hindu festival of lights, approaches, these lamps hold great significance as they will soon illuminate countless homes across the country. The composition of the photo is truly remarkable - an overhead view reveals rows upon rows of beautifully crafted clay lamps awaiting their turn to shine. The unrecognizable figure goes about his work with utmost care and precision, creating a serene atmosphere amidst the arid surroundings. The use of natural light creates a stunning play of shadows on the ground, adding depth and texture to this creative scene. The replica-like quality of these traditional earthen lamps adds an element of authenticity and cultural richness. This image perfectly captures both tradition and innovation as it highlights how people continue to embrace age-old customs while adapting them for contemporary times. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced world, there is still room for reverence towards nature and celebration through handmade creations. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot from Munish Sharma's lens, we can't help but feel inspired by the dedication and craftsmanship behind each lamp. It reminds us that beauty can be found in simplicity and that traditions have an enduring power to connect communities across generations.
