EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the magical moment of the Nam Giao Festival parade in Hue, Vietnam, circa 1926. The Nam Giao Festival, also known as the "Fete of the Two Heavenly Spheres," is a traditional Vietnamese ceremony held in honor of the earth and sky. During this national celebration, the royal city of Hue came alive with vibrant processions and colorful parades. In this image, a group of flautists gracefully march through the streets, their instruments held aloft. The musicians, dressed in traditional Vietnamese attire, add a melodic soundtrack to the festivities, their music resonating through the air. The flautists are accompanied by bearers of large, ornate flags, their colors and patterns reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Annam people. The parade is a visual feast for the eyes, with intricately designed costumes, elaborate headdresses, and an abundance of vibrant colors. The atmosphere is one of joy, unity, and reverence, as the people of Hue come together to honor the natural elements that sustain them. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and traditions of Vietnam, providing a window into a bygone era. The Nam Giao Festival remains an important part of Vietnamese heritage, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of the beauty and diversity of Vietnamese culture.
