EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, thousands of believers are seen joining Buddhist monks in prayer at the Wat Phra Dhammakaya temple during a mesmerizing ceremony on Makha Bucha Day. The image, captured by Athit Perawongmetha in Pathum Thani, Thailand on March 1,2018, showcases the power and unity of faith. As darkness envelops the night sky, an unrecognizable crowd gathers within the temple grounds. The long exposure technique used creatively by Perawongmetha adds a mystic touch to the scene as lightning illuminates the environment. Silhouettes of real people can be seen amidst multiple glowing lanterns that create an ethereal atmosphere. The devotion and reverence displayed by these worshippers is palpable as they come together to honor their religious beliefs. Against the backdrop of this magnificent building dedicated to Buddhism, one cannot help but feel a sense of awe and tranquility. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents something much deeper – it symbolizes spirituality transcending boundaries and connecting people from all walks of life. It serves as a reminder that faith has the power to bring individuals together in harmony and peace. Athit Perawongmetha's skillful composition allows us to witness this sacred ceremony through his lens, inviting us into a world where devotion meets enlightenment.
