EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Philippe Lissac, we witness the enchanting ritual of Aarti being performed at the end of a puja or bhajan session. This ancient Hindu ceremony holds immense significance and is observed during various occasions and ceremonies in India. The image showcases an adult priest, deeply immersed in his spiritual duties, as he circulates an Aarti plate or lamp around a person or deity. As the plate moves from one devotee to another, it is believed to absorb the divine power of the worshipped deity. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by melodious songs sung in praise of the deva or individual being honored. This snapshot captures not just a religious act but also reflects on the profound faith and spirituality that permeate through every aspect of Hinduism. The man's devotion shines through his eyes as he carries out this sacred duty with utmost reverence. Set against a backdrop of nature's beauty, this image reminds us of how integral religion is to everyday life for millions across Asia. It serves as a reminder that practicing spirituality can bring solace and purpose to our lives amidst the chaos of modernity. Philippe Lissac has skillfully frozen this moment in time, allowing viewers to appreciate both the physical aspects and deeper meanings behind such rituals. Through his lens, we are transported into a world where divinity meets humanity, leaving us captivated by its sheer beauty and depth.
