EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the vibrant city of Amritsar in India, where an Indian craftsman delicately paints clay diyas (earthen lamps) ahead of the much-awaited Hindu festival of Diwali. The image captures the essence and spirit of this auspicious occasion, which is celebrated with immense fervor and joy throughout the country. Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, holds great significance for Hindus worldwide. This year, it falls on November 3rd and symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. It commemorates Lord Rama's victory over Ravana, a mythical demon king, and his return to Ayodhya after a long exile period of 14 years. The craftsmanship displayed by the artisan in this photograph is truly remarkable. With utmost precision and skillful strokes, he adorns each diya with intricate patterns that will illuminate countless homes during Diwali night. The colorful palette used by him adds an extra touch of vibrancy to these traditional earthen lamps. Narinder Nanu's lens beautifully captures not only the artistic process but also conveys a sense of anticipation surrounding this grand festival. As we gaze at this vertical composition filled with pottery wonders against a backdrop buzzing with cultural energy, we can't help but feel drawn into India's rich heritage and traditions. This AFP print serves as a visual reminder that Diwali is more than just festivities; it represents unity among communities as they come together to celebrate light
