EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Navesh Chitrakar, the serene ambiance of Vesak Day at Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal is beautifully captured. The image showcases a close-up view of butter lamps delicately placed near the idol of Buddha, illuminating the surroundings with their warm and flickering flames. Vesak Day marks the birth anniversary of Buddha, and devotees gather at sacred sites like Boudhanath Stupa to pay homage to their spiritual leader. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the deep faith and devotion that permeates through every detail. The creative use of candlelight adds an ethereal touch to the scene, enhancing its tranquil atmosphere. The statue of Buddha stands tall amidst a backdrop of traditional architecture and nature's beauty. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely focused on these symbolic offerings and their significance within Buddhism. Each butter lamp represents a prayer or wish made by devotees seeking enlightenment or blessings for themselves and loved ones. Navesh Chitrakar's skillful composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on our own spirituality. This photograph serves as a reminder that despite our diverse beliefs, there exists an innate human desire for connection with something greater than ourselves – whether it be through religion or simply finding solace in nature's embrace
