EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, taken by Andrew Biraj for Reuters, we see a woman sitting between carriages as she travels from Dhaka to Mymensing in Bangladesh. The date is September 20,2009, and millions of residents are making their way back home from the capital city to celebrate the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. This significant occasion marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting. The image beautifully captures the essence of this mass exodus as people embark on their journey amidst crowded trains. The woman's serene expression reflects a sense of tranquility amidst the chaos surrounding her. Perhaps she finds solace in her thoughts or takes comfort in knowing that she will soon be reunited with loved ones. This photograph not only showcases an important religious celebration but also highlights the resilience and determination of these individuals who travel long distances to be with family during this special time. It serves as a reminder that despite any challenges faced along the way, there is an unwavering spirit within communities that brings them together. Andrew Biraj's skillful composition and attention to detail make this image truly remarkable. Through his lens, he captures both the physical and emotional aspects of this annual pilgrimage home. As viewers, we are invited into a moment frozen in time - one filled with anticipation, reflection, and joyous reunions yet to come.
