EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jitendra Prakash, we witness a woman engaging in an age-old tradition in the northern Indian city of Allahabad. With great care and precision, she is seen pasting cow dung cakes on a wall for drying. This fascinating practice holds deep cultural significance and has been passed down through generations. The image showcases the woman's dedication as she delicately arranges the cow dung cakes, forming a unique pattern against the backdrop of the weathered wall. The juxtaposition of traditional practices with modern surroundings creates an intriguing visual contrast. Cow dung cakes are commonly used as fuel for cooking and heating purposes in rural areas across India. They are known to emit less smoke compared to other fuels, making them environmentally friendly alternatives. Additionally, they hold religious importance in Hinduism and are often used during religious ceremonies or rituals. Through this photograph, Jitendra Prakash invites us to appreciate not only the woman's laborious task but also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness found within communities that rely on sustainable practices handed down over centuries. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and how ancient traditions continue to shape our lives today
