Divinity Hindu Hinduism India Kumbh Mela Pilgrimage Practicing Spiritual Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Philippe Lissac, we are transported to the vibrant and spiritual atmosphere of Haridwar Kumbh Mela in India. The image showcases a Sadhu, an ascetic holy man, skillfully impersonating the revered Hindu deity Hanuman. Dressed in vivid orange robes and adorned with sacred symbols, he exudes an aura of divinity as he practices his faith amidst the bustling crowd. The Haridwar Kumbh Mela is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, drawing millions of devout Hindus who come to cleanse their sins and seek spiritual enlightenment. This annual pilgrimage holds immense significance for believers who believe that taking a dip in the holy Ganges River during this auspicious time can purify their souls. The Sadhu's portrayal of Hanuman symbolizes devotion and dedication to God. With his eyes closed and hands folded in prayer, he embodies spirituality at its core. His presence amidst nature further enhances the ethereal ambiance surrounding him. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted faith that permeates Indian culture. It encapsulates both the individual's personal journey towards self-realization and their connection to something greater than themselves – a testament to humanity's enduring quest for meaning and transcendence. Philippe Lissac's lens has beautifully immortalized this profound expression of religious fervor within India's rich tapestry of spirituality.
