EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a woman gracefully circuits the inner Jokhang temple, following the circumambulation pathway known as Nangkhor. Located in Lhasa, Tibet, China, this ancient temple holds immense spiritual significance for Buddhists and serves as a place of worship and pilgrimage. Dressed in traditional clothing that beautifully reflects her Tibetan ethnicity, the woman exudes an aura of tranquility and devotion. With a prayer wheel held firmly in her hand, she embodies the essence of Buddhist spirituality as she turns it rhythmically while walking. The vibrant colors of her attire stand out against the backdrop of the temple's architectural marvels. The fusion between contemporary elements and centuries-old traditions is evident in this image – a testament to how Buddhism has seamlessly integrated into modern life. As she completes each rotation around the sacred structure, one can sense her deep connection with both religion and culture. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the timeless allure of Eastern spirituality. Don Smith/Robert Harding's photography skillfully portrays this scene from Asia's Far East with great attention to detail. It invites viewers on a visual journey through Lhasa's bustling Barkhor district – where tradition meets modernity amidst an atmosphere brimming with faith and reverence. This powerful image serves as a reminder that travel can be transformative when we immerse ourselves in different cultures and embrace their religious customs.
