EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, taken by Prakash Mathema for Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the vibrant streets of Kathmandu during the Maha Shivaratri festival. The image captures a Nepalese Hindu Sadhu, or holy man, as he delicately paints his face with coloured paste. The atmosphere is electric with devotion and spirituality as Hindus from all walks of life gather to mark this auspicious occasion. Maha Shivaratri is a time when prayers and fasting take center stage, allowing individuals to connect deeply with their faith. As we zoom in on the Sadhu's face, adorned with intricate patterns and vivid hues, it becomes evident that every stroke holds significance. Each brushstroke symbolizes an act of devotion and reverence towards Lord Shiva – one of the most revered deities in Hinduism. Surrounded by hundreds of fellow sadhus who have flocked to Pashupatinath for this grand event, our subject stands out amidst the sea of colors and textures. His serene expression reflects years of spiritual practice and dedication. Prakash Mathema's photograph encapsulates not only the visual spectacle but also conveys a sense of profound religious fervor that permeates through every corner during Maha Shivaratri. It serves as a testament to Nepal's rich cultural heritage and its people's unwavering commitment to their beliefs.
