EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of sacredness and spirituality in the Nilghiri Mountains of Northern India. The image showcases a temple belonging to the Dravidian tribe known as "Toda" who have resided in this region for centuries. The architectural beauty of the temple is evident, with its intricate structure standing tall against the backdrop of lush mountains. Its design reflects both tradition and grandeur, symbolizing the deep-rooted beliefs and practices of the Toda people. In this portrait-like composition, a group of men from the Toda tribe can be seen dressed in their traditional attire. Their costumes exude a sense of masculinity and pride, representing their cultural heritage passed down through generations. The photo provides a glimpse into non-Christian religions prevalent among Indian Asiatic populations. It serves as an important anthropological document that sheds light on indigenous communities' customs, traditions, and way of life. Photographed by Folco Quilici in 1965, this print preserves not only historical information but also evokes curiosity about these sacred places and places of prayer within one's mind. It invites viewers to explore beyond what meets the eye – to delve deeper into understanding different cultures and appreciating their unique contributions to our diverse world. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured decades ago, we are reminded that there is much more to discover about humanity's rich tapestry woven across continents – stories waiting to be told through photographs like these.
