EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of spirituality and devotion at the Haridwar Kumbh Mela in Uttarakhand, India. In this colorful image, we see a female sadhu (sadhvia) embodying the fierce goddess Kali, while a male sadhu impersonates the revered god Hanuman. The vibrant costumes and facial decorations add to the visual spectacle of this religious gathering. The Kumbh Mela is one of the largest religious pilgrimages in Hinduism, drawing millions of devotees from all over India and beyond. It is a time when holy men and women come together to celebrate their faith and seek spiritual enlightenment. This photograph beautifully captures two such individuals immersed in their roles as divine beings. The intensity on their faces reflects their dedication towards their respective deities. The female sadhu's tongue sticking out symbolizes her connection with goddess Kali's ferocious nature, while the male sadhu's serene expression embodies god Hanuman's strength and wisdom. Haridwar serves as an ideal backdrop for this extraordinary scene, with its rich cultural heritage and sacred Ganges River flowing nearby. As viewers gaze upon this image, they are transported into a world where customs blend seamlessly with religion. Godong/Robert Harding has skillfully captured this momentous occasion through his lens, allowing us to witness firsthand the devotion that lies at the heart of Hinduism during these auspicious gatherings like no other place on earth can offer.
