EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and captivating photo, we witness the preparation for the upcoming Hindu festival of Holi in India. The image showcases an Indian worker diligently drying out eco-friendly herbal colored powder at a factory on the outskirts of Ahmedabad. As Holi approaches, this dedicated worker is ensuring that revelers will have access to safe and environmentally friendly colors to celebrate the joyous occasion. The eco-friendly herbal colors seen here are made at the German Chemicals plant near Ahmedabad using starch and edible coloring, making them harmless to both humans and nature. The vivid hues displayed in this photograph symbolize not only the exuberance of Holi but also highlight India's rich cultural heritage. Holi is widely known as the "Festival of Colors" where people come together to rejoice, forgive past grievances, and embrace unity. Through his lens, photographer Sam Panthaky captures a moment that encapsulates both tradition and progress. This image serves as a reminder of how ancient customs can adapt with modern advancements while preserving their essence. As we gaze upon this snapshot, we are reminded of the beauty found within diversity – be it religious or ecological. It reminds us that celebrations like Holi transcend borders and bring people closer through shared joy and harmony. This print from Agence France-Presse (AFP) by Sam Panthaky stands as a testament to India's devotion towards preserving its traditions sustainably while embracing innovation for a brighter future.
