EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1965, we witness a profound moment of spiritual devotion as a pilgrim joyfully sings a religious hymn upon arriving in the holy city of Pandharpur, located in the state of Maharashtra, India. The image beautifully captures the essence of faith and reverence that permeates through every aspect of Indian culture. The elderly pilgrim's face radiates with cheerfulness and happiness, reflecting his deep connection to an abstract concept beyond our comprehension. His long beard symbolizes wisdom acquired through age and experience, while his necklace serves as an accessory that holds sentimental value within Hinduism. Surrounded by fellow devotees who have embarked on this sacred journey alongside him, he stands out among the crowd with his serene expression and melodious voice. The flower tucked behind his ear adds a touch of natural beauty to the scene, further enhancing its ethereal quality. This portrait not only showcases individual devotion but also provides valuable insights into psychological behavior and human psychology within non-Christian religions. It offers us a glimpse into the anthropological aspects of Indian society, specifically highlighting Asiatic populations' rich traditions and folklore. As we observe this powerful image frozen in time, it becomes evident that music has always played an integral role in expressing one's faith. Through song and instrument alike, believers find solace amidst their spiritual journey. Quilici Folco's masterful composition allows us to transcend cultural boundaries and appreciate the universal language of devotion present across all religions. This print serves as a reminder that regardless of our diverse backgrounds or physiological differences, we are united by our shared pursuit for something greater than ourselves – be it God or inner peace.
