EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Bhopal Fair in India. The image showcases Joguis fakirs, religious beggars who possess an otherworldly aura as they roam the fairgrounds. Almost bare, their bodies covered only by sparse hair, these enigmatic figures perform a macabre dance that both intrigues and unsettles onlookers. In their hands, they wield long acere daggers adorned with steel chainettes - weapons that hold an air of mysticism. With each rhythmic movement, they sink hallucinogenic substances into their own chests, arms, and thighs. It is through this act of self-inflicted pain that they seek to receive gifts from the audience. The artist A. de Neuville masterfully etched this illustration based on Louis Rousselet's voyage in India between 1864-1868. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1873 under Edouard Charton's editorial guidance at Hachette edition in Paris, it offers a glimpse into a unique cultural tradition. Leonard de Selva has preserved this remarkable moment through his photography skills for all to appreciate today. This evocative image transports viewers back to a time when ancient customs were still deeply ingrained within society. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of human experiences found across our diverse world - where spirituality intertwines with spectacle and devotion takes on extraordinary forms.
