EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bhutanese culture and spirituality during the Autumn Tsechu festival at Trashi Chhoe Dzong in Thimpu, Bhutan. The image showcases a group of monks playing horns and drums, their vibrant robes adding splashes of color to the scene. The Tsechu festival holds great significance for Buddhists in Bhutan, as it commemorates Guru Rinpoche's birth anniversary. During this time, locals gather to witness traditional dances performed by masked dancers known as cham. These dances are believed to bring blessings and ward off evil spirits. In this photograph, we see the dedication and passion with which these monks play their instruments. Their synchronized movements create an enchanting rhythm that resonates throughout the air. The sound of horns and drums fills every corner of Trashi Chhoe Dzong, transporting visitors into a world where music becomes a form of spiritual expression. The composition beautifully captures not only the musicians but also glimpses of other attendees dressed in traditional attire. It is evident that religion plays a central role in their lives as they come together to celebrate their faith. Christian Kober/Robert Harding's photography skillfully portrays both the religious customs and festive atmosphere present at this annual event. This stunning horizontal color image serves as a visual reminder of how travel can open our eyes to different cultures and traditions around the world
