EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Baba Avtar Singh, an Indian Sikh Nihang - a traditional Sikh warrior - is seen wearing an extraordinary 650 meter-long turban during the Fateh Divas celebration in Amritsar. The event takes place the day after Diwali, one of the most significant Hindu festivals. The occasion being celebrated is Bandi Chhorh Divas, which commemorates the return of Guru Hargobind from his imprisonment at Gwalior Fort. This auspicious day coincides with Diwali and holds immense importance for Sikhs worldwide. It marks the moment when Guru Hargobind agreed to be released on the condition that all fifty-two vassal kings who were also detained would be set free. Baba Avtar Singh's oversized turban not only showcases his devotion but also symbolizes his deep-rooted faith in Sikhism and its rich traditions. The vibrant colors and intricate details of his turban are a testament to the artistic craftsmanship associated with Sikh culture. This photograph captures both religious fervor and cultural pride as Baba Avtar Singh stands tall amidst a sea of devotees, embodying strength and resilience like a true warrior. His presence serves as a reminder of the unity among different communities during festive celebrations in India. Narinder Nanu's lens beautifully encapsulates this momentous occasion, allowing us to witness firsthand the magnificence and grandeur surrounding Sikh festivities in India.
