EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "LEVITATION Sheshal, a Cuddapah Brahmin," captures an enigmatic moment in Indian history. The image, taken in 1832, depicts a man identified as Sheshal, a Cuddapah Brahmin, seemingly defying the laws of gravity as he sits in mid-air without any apparent support. The photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, raising questions about the mysterious practices and beliefs of the time. The Brahmin caste, the highest in the Hindu social hierarchy, were traditionally considered spiritual leaders and priests. Sheshal, with his shaved head and sacred thread worn across his chest, embodies the religious and scholarly traditions of his community. Yet, the image of him levitating challenges our understanding of the role and capabilities of spiritual figures in Indian society during the colonial era. The photograph, taken during the British Raj, may have been a staged trick to impress European visitors or to assert the spiritual power of the Brahmin community. However, it is also possible that the photograph is an authentic depiction of a genuine spiritual practice. Regardless of its authenticity, the image has captivated the imagination of generations, leaving us to ponder the depths of human belief and the power of illusion. The photograph, with its rich historical context, offers a unique perspective into the complexities of Indian culture and the intersection of tradition and modernity during the colonial period. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the past.
