EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a morning religious festival along the sacred River Ganges in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh state, India. The image showcases the vibrant and spiritual atmosphere that envelops this ancient city known as Benares. As the sun rises over the horizon, devout Hindus gather at the ghat to partake in their daily ritual of bathing in the holy river. The scene is filled with a kaleidoscope of colors from traditional attire worn by men and women who have come to seek blessings and cleanse their souls. The photograph beautifully portrays how religion intertwines with everyday life in Varanasi. It offers a glimpse into one of India's most significant cultural practices - Hinduism - where customs are deeply rooted and celebrated with utmost devotion.
