EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, we witness a moment of profound tranquility and devotion. The image transports us to the premises of a temple in Lalitpur, Nepal, where a priest enters to offer his daily prayers. Bathed in soft light filtering through an archway, the interior of the temple is shrouded in darkness, creating an air of mystery and reverence. As our eyes are drawn towards the figure of the priest dressed in traditional white clothes, we can sense his deep connection with spirituality. With each step he takes on the empty walkway leading into the temple's depths, he carries with him centuries of religious tradition and faith. The intricate woodcarvings adorning the doorway serve as a testament to both Nepalese architecture and craftsmanship. They add depth and scale to this scene while also highlighting its historical significance as a place for worship. Although we cannot see her face clearly due to her unrecognizable silhouette against the backdrop of darkness, there is another person present - perhaps a worshipper or another devotee celebrating their own spiritual journey within these sacred walls. Chitrakar's creative use of black color enhances not only the visual impact but also symbolizes introspection and contemplation that often accompany prayer. This photograph invites us to pause for reflection on our own beliefs and reminds us that amidst our busy lives, moments like these provide solace and connection with something greater than ourselves.
