EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Sajjad Hussain from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness a mesmerizing scene unfolding on the banks of the Yamuna River in New Delhi, India. The image showcases an Indian mahout engaging in a timeless ritual as he tenderly washes his majestic elephant amidst the tranquil waters. The sheer size and grace of these gentle giants are beautifully juxtaposed against the serene backdrop of the river. As water cascades down their wrinkled skin, it creates a magical spectacle that evokes both awe and admiration. The bond between man and animal is palpable, reflecting centuries-old traditions deeply rooted in Indian society. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a poignant reminder of India's rich cultural heritage and its harmonious coexistence with nature. It symbolizes the deep reverence Indians hold for elephants, which have long been revered as sacred creatures embodying wisdom, strength, and spirituality. Through this lens, we gain insight into an intimate connection forged between humans and animals—a connection that transcends language barriers or societal divisions. It reminds us to cherish our natural world and nurture our relationship with all living beings around us. Sajjad Hussain's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this enchanting scene—an extraordinary encounter where two worlds collide: one shaped by ancient customs and another driven by modernity.
