EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Navesh Chitrakar, we are transported to the serene banks of the Rapti River in Sauraha, Nepal. The image beautifully captures an awe-inspiring moment as an elephant gracefully bends down to drink from the river, its reflection mirrored flawlessly on the calm water's surface. The sheer majesty and power of this magnificent creature is evident as it towers over its own reflection. The gentle ripples created by its trunk delicately touching the water add a touch of tranquility to the scene. It is a snapshot that encapsulates both strength and serenity in perfect harmony. This photograph was taken during preparations for an exciting event - the Elephant Race held annually in Chitwan. Elephants and their mahouts gather here from all around, showcasing their incredible skills and participating in various sports activities including an exhibition soccer match. This unique event brings together humans and elephants alike, celebrating their bond through friendly competition. As we admire this striking image captured at just the right moment, we can't help but be reminded of nature's wonders and our connection with these majestic creatures. It serves as a reminder of how important it is for us to protect them and ensure their well-being for generations to come
