EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Varanasi, a sacred city in Uttar Pradesh, India. At Sindhia Ghat, wicker baskets delicately balance on bamboo poles, each containing lanterns that hold great significance in Hinduism. It is believed that these diya oil lamps will guide the souls of departed ancestors towards heaven. The image showcases the rich religious traditions and cultural practices of this ancient city. The warm glow emitted by these beautifully adorned lanterns creates a mesmerizing spectacle against the backdrop of Varanasi's sky. As night falls, devotees gather along the ghats to light these lamps as an offering to their loved ones who have passed away. Varanasi, also known as Benaras or Kashi, holds immense spiritual importance for Hindus and is considered one of the holiest cities in India. The sight of countless illuminated lamps floating on the river Ganges during festivals like Akashadipas fills the air with an ethereal ambiance. Photographer Jane Sweeney has skillfully captured this moment where faith intertwines with tradition. Through her lens, she invites viewers to immerse themselves in this vibrant scene and witness firsthand how religion shapes daily life in South Asia. This print serves as a visual reminder of Varanasi's timeless allure and its role as a religious hub where customs are upheld with utmost devotion.
