EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Danish Siddiqui, we witness the fervor and enthusiasm of devotees as they attempt to form a towering human pyramid. The occasion is none other than the Hindu festival of Janmashtami, celebrated with great zeal in Mumbai, India on September 6,2015. The image showcases a group of dedicated devotees who have come together to break a clay pot suspended high above them. Inside this pot lies curd, symbolizing Lord Krishna's favorite food. To honor his birth anniversary, these brave individuals strive to reach new heights both physically and spiritually. As the devotees meticulously arrange themselves into layers upon layers, their determination shines through their concentrated expressions. Each participant plays an integral role in forming a sturdy foundation for those climbing atop them. This awe-inspiring display of teamwork and trust exemplifies the essence of unity within the Hindu community. Janmashtami celebrations are not confined to just one city or region; rather, they reverberate across the entire country. It is a time when people gather at temples and homes alike to offer prayers and seek blessings from Lord Krishna. The breaking of the clay pot represents overcoming obstacles in life while embracing devotion and faith. Through Siddiqui's lens, we are transported into this vibrant celebration where tradition meets modernity amidst cheers and applause echoing throughout Mumbai's streets. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of Janmashtami – joyous festivities that remind us all about love for God and each other.
