EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Philippe Lissac from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported to the vibrant and spiritual atmosphere of the Ganesh festival. The image showcases a moment filled with faith, devotion, and deep-rooted Hindu traditions. Amidst a sea of devotees, an adult man stands in prayer before a beautifully adorned idol of Lord Ganesh. His eyes closed in reverence, his hands joined together in supplication, he is completely immersed in his religious practice. The air is charged with spirituality as incense wafts through the air and chants fill the surroundings. The Ganesh festival holds immense significance for Hindus worldwide as it commemorates the birth of Lord Ganesha - revered as the remover of obstacles and harbinger of good fortune. This annual celebration brings communities together to honor their beloved deity through elaborate rituals, colorful processions, and heartfelt prayers. Lissac's photograph encapsulates both the visual grandeur and emotional intensity that define this auspicious occasion. Through skillful composition and impeccable timing, he captures not only the physical presence but also manages to convey an ethereal sense of devotion emanating from every participant present. This powerful image serves as a reminder that religion can be a profound source of solace for individuals seeking guidance or strength on their spiritual journey. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own beliefs while appreciating the diversity and beauty found within different faiths around our world.
