EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Hindu festival of Tihar, also known as the festival of lights, in Durbar Square, Patan. As dusk settles over this vibrant city near Kathmandu, Nepal, a colorful celebration unfolds before our eyes. The statue of Garuda atop a column stands tall and proud amidst the festivity. The image showcases the contemporary yet deeply rooted traditions of Hinduism in this capital city. People from all walks of life come together to partake in this religious event that holds great significance for Nepalese culture. The streets are adorned with bright lights and decorations, creating an enchanting atmosphere that is truly mesmerizing. Diwali, or the festival of lights, brings forth a burst of color and joy to every corner it touches. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the energy and spirit that fills these ancient streets during such festivities. It serves as a reminder not only of Nepal's rich cultural heritage but also its ability to embrace diversity and celebrate unity. Don Smith/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures this momentous occasion with precision and artistry. Through his lens, we are transported into a world where tradition meets modernity; where customs thrive alongside bustling cities; where religion intertwines with everyday life. This print is a visual testament to the beauty found within travel destinations like Kathmandu and invites us to explore different cultures through imagery alone - an invitation we gladly accept!
