EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo captures the essence of devotion and compassion at the Kankera festival in Udaipur, Rajasthan. As dusk settles over the Jagdish temple, a long queue of devotees patiently waits to perform puja, a sacred act of worship. This annual festival takes place on the day after Diwali celebrations, symbolizing a time for giving back to those in need. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and reverence as these dedicated individuals come together to make donations of food for the poor. The vibrant colors and intricate details adorning their traditional attire reflect their deep-rooted faith in Hinduism. In this vertical shot, Annie Owen/Robert Harding skillfully captures not only the physical beauty but also the spiritual significance of this cultural event. The temple's majestic architecture stands tall against an indigo sky while groups of people gather under its watchful presence. As night falls, soft illumination from flickering lamps adds an ethereal glow to this religious gathering. It serves as a reminder that amidst our diverse customs and beliefs, acts of kindness and unity can bridge any divide. Through her lens, Owen/Robert Harding transports us into this mesmerizing world where travel meets spirituality. This photograph encapsulates both India's rich heritage and its unwavering commitment to helping those less fortunate – making it truly unforgettable.
