EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Angelo Cavalli captures a mesmerizing moment at the Karchu Dratsang Monastery in Jankar, Bhutan. The image showcases a group of Buddhist monks turning prayer wheels, their vibrant robes adding splashes of color against the monastery's exotic facade. The photograph exudes a sense of motion and dedication as the monks walk and stand together, following the age-old tradition of praying through rotating these sacred wheels. Their faith and spirituality are palpable, creating an atmosphere that is both serene and powerful. In this rare glimpse into Bhutanese culture, we witness not only the monks' commitment to their religious practices but also their strong bond of friendship. The motif of youth and childhood resonates as we see only boys engaging in this spiritual ritual. The photo's composition beautifully frames the medium-sized group of people engaged in worshiping, with each person fully immersed in their prayers. It offers a side view perspective that allows us to appreciate every detail - from the intricate design on the prayer wheels to the flowing robes worn by these devoted individuals. Angelo Cavalli has skillfully captured not just an image but also a slice of life filled with tradition, spirituality, and cultural significance. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst our fast-paced world, there are places where ancient customs continue to thrive and inspire awe-inspiring moments like this one at Karchu Dratsang Monastery.
