EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the heart of the Pancha Dan festival in Bhaktapur, Nepal. The image beautifully captures a statue showcasing the serene head of Buddha, adorned with intricate details and an aura of spiritual significance. The Pancha Dan festival holds immense cultural and religious importance for both the Newar and Buddhist communities. It is a time when devotees come together to give away five essential elements as offerings – wheat grains, rice grains, salt, money, and fruit. These symbolic gifts represent their devotion and gratitude towards Buddha. As we delve into this close-up shot, we can appreciate the creative use of sculpture as a means of worship and expression. The craftsmanship behind this traditional art form is evident in every delicate feature carved into the statue's face. With no people present in the frame, our focus solely rests on this magnificent religious idol that stands tall against a backdrop that remains unseen but surely adds to its grandeur. Through Navesh Chitrakar's lens, we witness not only a moment frozen in time but also gain insight into the deep-rooted faith that permeates Nepalese culture. This photograph serves as a reminder of how traditions continue to thrive amidst modernity while offering us an opportunity to reflect upon our own beliefs and spirituality.
