EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, we witness a mesmerizing blend of faith and nature. A small sparrow delicately perches on the outstretched wing of an idol of Lord Garud in Kathmandu, Nepal. The bird seems to have discovered a hidden treasure - an offering carefully placed within the mouth of the religious sculpture. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of both the idol and its unexpected visitor. With its feathers ruffled by a gentle breeze, the sparrow appears oddly at ease amidst this sacred setting. Its presence adds an element of life and movement to what would otherwise be considered a static symbol. This image beautifully captures the coexistence between religion and wildlife in Nepalese culture. It serves as a reminder that even in our most revered places, nature finds ways to intertwine itself with human practices. As we delve into this photograph's depth of field, we are invited to contemplate themes such as spirituality, tradition, and reverence for all living beings. It is through creative use of composition that Chitrakar has managed to freeze this fleeting moment where two worlds collide harmoniously. Whether one follows Hinduism or Buddhism or simply appreciates artistry in any form, this image resonates universally with viewers who seek beauty in unexpected encounters.
