EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and awe-inspiring moment of bulls engaged in a fierce battle during the Maghesangranti festival at Talukachandani village in Nuwakot, Nepal. The festival marks the beginning of the holy month of Magh, symbolizing the arrival of warmer weather and longer days. In this image, two powerful bulls lock horns as they confront each other with strength and aggression. The dust-filled air adds to the dramatic atmosphere surrounding them, highlighting their determination to dominate their opponent. Their muscular bodies and sharp hooves showcase their natural prowess as hoofed mammals. The photograph not only portrays an enthralling display of animal behavior but also reflects upon cultural rituals deeply rooted in Hindu traditions. Bullfighting is considered a creative use of brutality within religious festivals like Maghesangranti, where violence becomes a symbolic representation of power and dominance. Amidst this spectacle lies an underlying appreciation for nature's forceful beauty. With no human presence visible, it emphasizes how these creatures are connected to their environment while showcasing their dangerous yet mesmerizing fight for supremacy. Navesh Chitrakar skillfully captures this extraordinary moment through his lens, freezing time to immortalize this unique blend of tradition, religion, nature's mightiness, and animal instinct on photographic paper.
