EDITORS COMMENTS
The Har-ki-Pauri ghat, a mesmerizing sight to behold, comes alive under the night sky during the sacred Kumbh Mela festival in India. This print by Philippe Lissac from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures the essence of spirituality and faith that permeates this ancient Hindu pilgrimage site. As darkness descends upon the holy city, vibrant lights illuminate every corner of this architectural marvel, casting a mystical glow on devotees and visitors alike. Standing at the banks of River Ganges in Haridwar, Har-ki-Pauri is believed to be the spot where Lord Vishnu left his footprint on Earth. It holds immense significance for Hindus who gather here to cleanse their sins and seek blessings during auspicious occasions like Kumbh Mela. The image showcases not only the grandeur of its intricate design but also reflects an atmosphere charged with devotion and religious fervor. Against a backdrop of starry skies, thousands flock to witness rituals performed by priests while lamps flicker gently along the steps leading into the holy waters below. The sheer magnitude of this gathering is awe-inspiring as people from all walks of life come together in search of spiritual enlightenment. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that amidst our diverse world, there are places where faith unites us all. It encapsulates both beauty and reverence – a testament to India's rich heritage and deep-rooted connection with religion.
