EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Narinder Nanu of Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness a powerful display of faith and devotion at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India. The image showcases an Indian Sikh man immersed in prayer as he stands waist-deep in the tranquil waters surrounding the temple. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the vibrant turban adorning the man's head. Serving as a striking symbol of Sikh pride and identity, it is fascinating to learn that this magnificent piece of cloth measures an astounding eight meters or 26 feet long. Sikh men wear turbans not only as a means to manage their uncut hair – which their religion strictly forbids them from cutting – but also as a representation of their commitment to upholding religious principles. The serene ambiance created by the calm waters and architectural beauty of the Golden Temple further enhances our understanding of this sacred moment. As rays of sunlight gently illuminate his face, one can almost feel his deep connection with spirituality and inner peace. Nanu's exceptional composition transports us into a world where culture, religion, and tradition seamlessly intertwine. Through his lens, we are reminded that photography has the power to transcend boundaries and capture profound moments that resonate universally. This evocative image serves as both an homage to Sikh customs and an invitation for viewers around the globe to appreciate diverse cultures while finding solace in shared human experiences.
