EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph by Azim Khan Ronnie titled "Praying with Fire," we witness a profound moment of devotion and spiritual connection during the Hindu religious festival of Rakher Upobash, also known as Kartik Brati, in Narayanganj, Bangladesh. The festival, which takes place in November, marks the end of the Kartik month in the Bengali calendar and is celebrated by Hindus with great enthusiasm and devotion. The image captures a group of devotees gathered around a sacred fire, their faces illuminated by the flickering flames. They attend to their prayers with deep concentration, their hands held together in supplication. The air is thick with the scent of burning incense and the gentle hiss of oil lamps. The devotees have likely been observing a period of fasting before this moment, adding an extra layer of significance to their offerings and petitions. The fire represents the purifying power of Agni, the Hindu god of fire, and is believed to cleanse the soul and bring blessings. The act of offering oblations into the fire is a powerful form of prayer and is believed to create a direct connection between the devotee and the deity. The scene is one of unity and communal spirit, as the devotees come together to celebrate their faith and seek the blessings of their gods. The warm glow of the fire casts an ethereal light over the scene, creating a sense of otherworldliness and transcendence. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the human spirit.
