EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Rupak De Chowdhuri, we witness a powerful display of faith and devotion during the Sheetala Puja in Kolkata. The image portrays a young boy lying on a road, completely absorbed in his worship of Sheetala Mata, the Hindu goddess of smallpox. The scene is filled with symbolism and cultural significance as women fast throughout the day to pray for their family's well-being and society's betterment. As rainwater gently trickles down from above, it adds an ethereal touch to the atmosphere, enhancing the spiritual ambiance surrounding this traditional ceremony. The boy remains unrecognizable but serves as a representation of unwavering belief and dedication. His body lies still against the wet pavement while he engages in prayerful contemplation. A stop sign nearby acts as a poignant reminder that amidst our busy lives, moments like these compel us to pause and connect with something greater than ourselves. This photograph beautifully captures both nature's elements and human spirituality intertwined harmoniously. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own beliefs while appreciating the diverse religious practices found across cultures worldwide. Rupak De Chowdhuri's creative use of composition allows us to witness this sacred ritual through his lens, evoking emotions of awe and reverence for those who partake in such profound acts of worship.
