EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Navesh Chitrakar, we witness the vibrant spirit of Kathmandu come alive as a woman delicately plucks marigold flowers. Bathed in warm sunlight, her hands move with grace and precision, carefully selecting each blossom that will soon be transformed into garlands for prayers and offerings. The marigold holds great significance in Nepalese culture, particularly during the Tihar festival, also known as Diwali. As one of the most important Hindu festivals celebrated across Nepal, it is a time when homes are adorned with colorful lights and intricate rangoli designs to welcome prosperity and good fortune. This image beautifully encapsulates the essence of tradition and devotion. The woman's focused expression reflects her deep-rooted belief in the power of these flowers to bring blessings upon those who offer them during religious ceremonies. With every petal she gathers, she becomes an integral part of a centuries-old ritual that unites communities through faith. As she prepares to sell her meticulously crafted garlands at the market, her contribution extends beyond personal devotion; it becomes an opportunity for others to participate in this sacred celebration too. Through his lens, Chitrakar skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also a profound cultural heritage that continues to thrive amidst modernity. This photograph serves as a reminder of our shared humanity - our yearning for connection with something greater than ourselves - transcending borders and cultures alike.
