EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, we are transported to the vibrant and spiritual world of Lalitpur, Nepal. The image showcases a devotee immersed in the joyous celebration of the Shikali festival. With a stick made of bamboo in hand, the devotee skillfully plays a drum, filling the air with rhythmic beats that resonate with divine energy. The scene is brought to life by the colorful clay masks adorning the faces of participants. These mediums embody ancient traditions and beliefs as they engage in mesmerizing dances, their movements synchronized with each beat of the drum. Surrounding them are villagers who have gathered to offer prayers and sacrifices to seek blessings from deities during this annual festival. The photograph encapsulates both spirituality and cultural heritage as it captures a moment frozen in time. It serves as a reminder of how rituals and customs connect people to their roots while fostering unity within communities. Navesh Chitrakar's lens beautifully captures not only an event but also emotions - devotion, excitement, and reverence - all intertwined within this single frame. Through his artistry, he invites us into this sacred space where faith meets celebration; where tradition merges seamlessly with modernity; where music becomes one with prayer.
