In this photo print, the night sky is illuminated by a mesmerizing display of firecrackers set off before effigies of the 10-headed demon King Ravana, Meghnad, and Khumbkarna during the vibrant festival of Dussehra in Srinagar. The image captures a momentous celebration that symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. The low angle view emphasizes the grandeur and unity of the crowd gathered to witness this spectacle. Although unrecognizable, their presence adds to the sense of movement and energy in the picture. Looking up at the black silhouette against a backdrop filled with sparks and illumination, one can't help but feel awe-inspired. This photograph goes beyond mere visual appeal; it also serves as a reminder of our environment's fragility. In an era marked by climate change and global warming concerns, its creative use highlights both our fascination with fireworks and our responsibility towards nature. As we stand amidst this breathtaking landscape dotted with people celebrating together, it becomes evident that festivals like Dussehra bring communities closer while allowing individuals to relax from their daily routines. The rear view perspective showcases multiple silhouettes united in joyous revelry. Fayaz Kabli's lens has captured not just an extraordinary moment but also encapsulated centuries-old traditions that continue to thrive today. This image invites us to appreciate cultural diversity while reminding us that goodness will always prevail over darkness.
