EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, an idol of Buddha stands tall and majestic, silhouetted against the backdrop of the Tibetan Monastery in Lumbini. The serene aura surrounding the statue is enhanced by its striking silhouette, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle. Taken on January 13,2012, just a day before the inauguration ceremony of Visit Lumbini Year 2012, this image encapsulates the deep spiritual significance and cultural richness that permeates through this sacred site. Located southwest of Kathmandu in Nepal, Lumbini province holds immense historical importance as it is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Buddha himself. The photograph beautifully captures both tranquility and reverence as sunlight delicately filters through intricate architectural details onto the idol. The play between light and shadow creates an ethereal atmosphere that invites contemplation and reflection. This image not only showcases religious devotion but also serves as a testament to Nepal's rich heritage and its commitment to promoting tourism in Lumbini province. As part of Visit Lumbini Year 2012, this photograph symbolizes an invitation for travelers from around the world to explore this holy land where Buddhism originated. Navesh Chitrakar's skillful composition allows us to witness a moment frozen in time – one that evokes spirituality, cultural pride, and wanderlust all at once.
