EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Lhosar festival, a vibrant celebration marking the Tibetan and Sherpa New Year. The image showcases an array of beautifully lit candles, illuminating a sacred space in Bodhnath, Kathmandu. As flickering flames dance gracefully atop each candle, they create a mesmerizing glow that symbolizes hope and new beginnings. The photograph transports us to Nepal's bustling capital city, where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with modern life. In this moment frozen in time by Jane Sweeney/Robert Harding's lens, we witness the convergence of Buddhism and culture as devotees gather to pay homage to their ancestors and seek blessings for the year ahead. The composition is visually striking; it highlights both the intricate details of each individual candle and the collective impact they have when brought together. The warm hues emanating from these traditional butter lamps evoke a sense of tranquility amidst the chaos outside. As we delve into this visual masterpiece, we are reminded not only of our shared humanity but also how photography has the power to transport us across continents and immerse us in diverse cultural experiences. This print serves as an invitation to explore Nepal's rich heritage through its customs and rituals while igniting our own curiosity about different religious practices around Asia.
