EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of Shiva the great ascetic, situated in the Kailasa temple within the Ellora caves. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Maharashtra state, India, this remarkable piece of architecture is an emblematic representation of ancient Indian civilization and religious devotion. The image takes us deep inside the cave's interior where we are greeted by an intricately carved deity. The rock-cut artistry and attention to detail are truly mesmerizing, reflecting both Buddhist and Hindu influences that coexist harmoniously within this sacred space. Shiva, a significant figure in both Buddhism and Hinduism, stands tall as a symbol of mourning and spirituality. The stone sculpture exudes a sense of tranquility amidst its rocky surroundings, inviting visitors to contemplate their own spiritual journey. The photograph captures not only the architectural brilliance but also serves as a testament to India's rich cultural heritage. It transports viewers to another time and place – one filled with reverence for religion and admiration for human creativity. Robert Harding's expert lens has immortalized this extraordinary travel destination through his artistic vision. This print is more than just a visual masterpiece; it is an invitation to explore history, religion, art, and ultimately our own connection with something greater than ourselves.
