EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by KG, we are transported to the enchanting region of Ladakh in India. The image showcases a young novice monk diligently sweeping up tsampa crumbs during morning prayers or puja at Thiksey Monastery. Set against a backdrop of majestic mountains and barren desert landscapes, the scene exudes a sense of tranquility and spirituality. The remote and mountainous location adds to the mystique of this monastic setting, where maroon-robed monks dedicate themselves to their Buddhist practices. The stark beauty of Ladakh's winter is evident as cold winds sweep through the high altitude snow desert. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel the peacefulness that emanates from the young boy engrossed in his task. His brush gently glides across the floor, symbolizing not only cleanliness but also devotion to his religion. Ladakh, often referred to as "Little Tibet" holds a special place within Mahayana Buddhism. Thiksey Monastery stands tall amidst its surroundings like an oasis for spiritual seekers on their journey towards enlightenment. This image serves as a reminder of both the physical challenges faced by those who reside in such remote regions and their unwavering commitment to their faith. It invites us into a world far removed from our own, offering glimpses into ancient traditions that continue to thrive amidst modernity. KG's photography transports us beyond borders and allows us to witness moments that inspire awe and reverence for cultures different from our own.
