EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the heart of Kolkata, India, where an Indian family is immersed in a deeply spiritual moment. The image captures the essence of Hinduism as they perform special prayers in front of a clay idol of the revered goddess Durga inside their home. The significance behind this ritual lies in its connection to the five-day traditional prayer known as Durga Puja. This sacred occasion commemorates the legendary slaying of Mahishasur, the demon king, by goddess Durga herself. It symbolizes the eternal triumph of good over evil and serves as a powerful reminder for believers that light will always prevail over darkness. As we gaze upon this photograph, we witness not only devotion but also unity within this family. Their collective faith binds them together during these auspicious days when they seek blessings from their beloved deity. The vibrant colors adorning the idol and surrounding decorations add an element of visual splendor to this religious ceremony. Each intricate detail reflects centuries-old traditions passed down through generations and showcases India's rich cultural heritage. Through AFP photographer Dibyangshu Sarkar's lens, we are granted a glimpse into a private moment filled with reverence and spirituality. This image encapsulates both the personal nature of religious practices and their wider significance within Indian society.
