In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, we witness a mesmerizing scene from the Chariot Festival in Kathmandu. The image showcases devotees engaged in a slow-motion procession as they carry beautifully adorned chariots through the bustling streets of Ashon, one of Kathmandu's busiest shopping areas. The festival, celebrated by the Newar community, is a vibrant display of religious devotion and cultural heritage. Adorned with colorful hats and traditional attire, these dedicated participants pay homage to Goddess Kankeshwori, Shankata, and Bhadrakali as they navigate their way through the city. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of this grand celebration. The sheer determination on the faces of these devotees reflects their unwavering faith and commitment to their beliefs. Every step taken exudes grace and reverence for their deities. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported into a world where tradition meets modernity.
