EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Adnan Abidi, we witness a moment of cultural celebration and gender equality in the heart of India. The image showcases a woman gracefully holding her veil as she actively participates in Huranga, an exhilarating game traditionally played between men and women. Set against the backdrop of Dauji temple near Mathura, a northern city known for its vibrant festivities, the scene unfolds on March 3rd, 2018 - just one day after Holi, the festival of colors. As colorful powders still linger in the air and joyous spirits fill every corner, this unique game takes center stage. Huranga is not merely about competition; it symbolizes unity and inclusivity as men and women come together to revel in shared laughter and camaraderie. The woman's confident stance reflects her determination to break societal barriers while embracing her cultural heritage. Adnan Abidi's masterful composition captures both motion and emotion flawlessly. Through his lens, we are transported into a world where tradition meets modernity - where veils become symbols of empowerment rather than confinement. This powerful image serves as a reminder that traditions can evolve without losing their essence; they can adapt to embrace equality while preserving their rich history. It encapsulates the spirit of India's diverse culture with all its vibrancy and dynamism.
