EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Narinder Nanu from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the vibrant streets of Amritsar, India. The image showcases a religious procession held in anticipation of the joyous Holi festival. Dressed as the revered Hindu deity Hanuman, devotees immerse themselves in spiritual fervor and devotion. The scene is a mesmerizing blend of tradition and offbeat charm. The horizontal composition allows us to witness the grandeur of the event, with rows of participants stretching into the distance. Adorned in elaborate costumes and masks resembling Hanuman, their dedication to their faith is palpable. Hinduism, one of India's major religions, celebrates its rich mythology through such processions that unite communities. As these devout followers march through Amritsar's bustling streets, they carry with them an air of excitement and reverence for both religion and culture. Nanu's skillful lens captures not only the visual spectacle but also conveys a sense of spirituality that permeates every frame. The colors burst forth vibrantly against a backdrop filled with ancient architecture—symbolic reminders that tradition seamlessly intertwines with modernity in this diverse nation. This powerful photograph serves as a testament to India's deep-rooted religious traditions while showcasing its ability to embrace individual expression within those customs. It encapsulates both the essence of Hinduism and highlights how festivals like Holi bring people together across all walks of life—a celebration where unity prevails over differences
