EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by renowned photographer Quilici, Folco, we are transported to the sacred city of Bodhgaya in the state of Bihar, India. The year is 1965, and amidst the ancient temples that dot this holy land, a child stands as a symbol of innocence and wonder. The young subject gazes directly into the camera with wide eyes filled with curiosity. Their delicate features reflect the diversity and beauty of Indian heritage. This portrait serves as a testament to the rich tapestry of Asiatic populations that call this region home. Bodhgaya holds immense significance for Buddhists around the world as it is believed to be where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. The temples surrounding our young protagonist stand tall in their architectural splendor, exuding an aura of spirituality that permeates every corner. This image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us glimpses into anthropology, ethnography, folklore - providing valuable insights into Indian culture and its people's way of life during that era. Quilici's masterful composition draws attention to both individuality and universality. Through his lens, he brings forth emotions evoked by witnessing such purity amidst ancient structures steeped in history. As we admire this poignant photograph today, let us appreciate its power to transcend time and space; reminding us that within these hallowed grounds lie stories waiting to be told - tales woven together by countless generations who have sought solace or enlightenment within these very walls.
