EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Don Smith/Robert Harding, we witness a serene moment in the heart of Kathmandu, Nepal. A monk gracefully walks clockwise around the magnificent Buddhist stupa known as Swayambhu or Swayambhunath. The full-length statue-like structure stands proudly outside the bustling city, its dome hanging above like a protective cloudless sky. The temple's exterior is adorned with intricate and decorative stone work, showcasing an elaborate facade that reflects the rich heritage of this spiritual place. As the monk takes each step on his path, his robe sways gently in the breeze, adding to the ethereal atmosphere surrounding him. The imposing tower behind him serves as a testament to faith and devotion. Every carving tells a story of Asian spirituality and human connection with higher realms. The shadow cast by his presence adds depth to this urban landscape while highlighting every ornate turret and embellished railing. As he strolls along, one cannot help but be captivated by this gentleman of Buddhism - a clergyman preaching through ministry and ministering through peaceful actions. His apparel signifies not only his doctrine but also represents centuries-old traditions passed down from generation to generation. This photograph beautifully captures both the architectural grandeur and spiritual essence that define Kathmandu's religious buildings. It serves as a reminder of how religion intertwines seamlessly with everyday life in Nepal – where people find solace amidst these sacred edifices. Through Don Smith/Robert Harding's lens, we are transported into a world where culture meets spirituality; where man-made structures become conduits for divine connection; where colour blends harmoniously with tradition; all within South Asia's vibrant tapestry of beliefs and practices.
