EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a serene morning on the banks of the Bagmati River in Kathmandu, Nepal. As dawn breaks on the day of Shivaratri, one of Hinduism's most significant festivals, a group of men donning traditional topi hats sit peacefully by the river. Their vibrant attire adds splashes of color to this picturesque scene. Amidst the festivity and celebration that fills the air, these men find solace in their quiet reading moments. Engrossed in their books, they create an atmosphere that beautifully blends tradition with contemporary life. The capital city's bustling energy seems momentarily paused as these individuals immerse themselves in literature. The image showcases not only Nepali ethnicity but also highlights cultural customs and practices unique to South Asia. The topi hats worn by these men are symbolic of their heritage and add a touch of authenticity to this snapshot frozen in time. Don Smith/Robert Harding skillfully captures this moment, allowing viewers to experience both the tranquility and vivacity present during Shivaratri festivities at Pashupatinath temple. This travel destination becomes even more enchanting through his lens as he masterfully frames each element within this horizontal composition. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into a world where ancient traditions meet modernity against a backdrop painted with hues from nature itself – truly an awe-inspiring sight for all who appreciate culture and beauty alike.
