EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, a group of pigeons find solace and rest atop the majestic dome of Boudhanath Stupa during Vesak Day in Kathmandu. As the birth anniversary of Buddha, also known as Vesak Day, is celebrated with great fervor and devotion, these instinctive creatures seem to have found their own spiritual connection with the sacred site. The exterior of the stupa stands tall and proud against an azure sky, providing a perfect backdrop for this mesmerizing scene. The creative use of copy space allows us to focus on the intricate details of both nature and faith that intertwine harmoniously in this momentous occasion. Buddhism's profound influence can be felt through every aspect of this image - from the traditional architecture to the serene atmosphere it exudes. It serves as a reminder that religion has always been deeply rooted in nature and its beauty. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely drawn towards these graceful birds perched upon one another. Their presence symbolizes unity within diversity, reminding us that even amidst chaos or celebration, there is always room for peace and tranquility. As we gaze into their eyes, we are reminded not only of their delicate existence but also our own place within this vast universe. This photograph encapsulates not just a single moment frozen in time but rather an eternal connection between man-made structures and Mother Nature herself.
