EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "At Close of Day, 1936" transports us back to the vibrant era of British India in the 1930s. The creator, R L Lekhi, skillfully captures a moment of tranquility and contemplation. In this image, an Indian man is depicted sitting on a charpoy - a traditional woven bed - in his bedroom at dusk. The warm colors and soft lighting evoke a sense of calmness as we witness the man enjoying his evening ritual. With a hookah pipe in hand, he indulges in moments of relaxation and reflection. The intricate details on the charpoy highlight its cultural significance within Indian society. Taken from "The Civil and Military Gazette". Annual magazine of 1936, this photograph offers us a glimpse into everyday life during the time when Britain held sway over India as part of its empire. It serves as a reminder of both imperialism's influence and the resilience of Indian culture. R L Lekhi's composition not only showcases the individuality and gracefulness of this anonymous man but also invites viewers to appreciate the beauty found within simple moments. This striking image stands as an enduring testament to human connection across time and place – reminding us that despite our differences, we all seek solace at day's end.
