EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of spirituality and devotion in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India. The image showcases a mesmerizing moment as a priest and devotee engage in the sacred ritual of aarti. Bathed in the warm glow of an evening flame, their faces are illuminated with faith and reverence. The priest holds a tray adorned with vibrant flowers, while delicately waving it before the flickering flames. The devotee stands beside him, her hands folded in prayer as she immerses herself in this spiritual experience. Their eyes closed, they seem to be transported to another realm where only their connection with the divine exists. Haridwar is renowned for its religious significance among Hindus and attracts millions of pilgrims each year. This photograph beautifully encapsulates the customs and traditions that have been passed down through generations.
