EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of a partially submerged and tilted Shiva temple below the ghats on the edge of the sacred River Ganges in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. Bathed in sunshine against a cloudless blue sky, this historical landmark stands as a symbol of India's rich heritage and spirituality. The intricate stone work and ornate carvings adorning the temple's exterior showcase the elaborate craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. The tower spire reaches towards the heavens, while each step leading to its entrance is adorned with decorative motifs that reflect Asian culture. As people traverse along the ghat stairs nearby, they are drawn to this contemporary marvel that seamlessly blends with its ancient surroundings. The tilting structure adds an intriguing element to its already striking appearance, making it a unique tourist attraction for visitors from all over. Against a backdrop of clear skies and negative space, this photograph beautifully captures both the architectural beauty and spiritual essence of Varanasi. It serves as a reminder of India's deep-rooted religious history and invites travelers to immerse themselves in its vibrant culture. Jane Sweeney/Robert Harding have skillfully captured not just an image but also an experience - one that transports viewers into a world where tradition meets modernity amidst serene waters and sun-kissed landscapes.
