EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, we witness the vibrant and lively atmosphere of the Tihar festival in Kathmandu, Nepal. The image showcases a street vendor meticulously spreading vermilion powder used for worship during this auspicious occasion. Also known as Diwali, Tihar is a significant Hindu festival celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of faith and spirituality as people gather to celebrate and honor their religious beliefs. The rainbow flag fluttering in the background adds an element of inclusivity and diversity to the scene. The creative use of vermilion powder on display here highlights its importance as a key component in various rituals and acts of worship. The vendor's hand delicately holds a spoonful of this sacred substance, ready to spread it with precision. Through geometrical shapes formed by the rectangular box object containing the vermilion powder, we are reminded of the meticulous nature of these traditions that have been passed down through generations. This image serves as a powerful reminder of how religion can bring people together in celebration while also showcasing Nepal's rich cultural heritage. It encapsulates both tradition and modernity coexisting harmoniously on bustling streets where ancient customs continue to thrive amidst contemporary life.
