EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, a Hindu devotee stands on the banks of the river Mahananda in Siliguri, India, holding an earthen lamp as she offers prayers to the Sun god during the religious festival of Chhat Puja. The image captures both devotion and tranquility as she seeks blessings for her family and society. The festival of Chhat Puja holds immense significance for Hindus who worship the Sun god, Surya. This annual event involves fasting throughout the day and offering prayers at sunrise and sunset. The earthen lamp held by the devotee symbolizes light and purity while paying homage to Surya's divine energy. Siliguri provides a picturesque backdrop with its serene river flowing gently behind her. The golden hues created by sunlight filtering through trees add a mystical touch to this spiritual moment captured by photographer Rupak De Chowdhuri. This photograph serves as a reminder of faith's power to unite communities and inspire individuals towards selflessness. It showcases how festivals like Chhat Puja bring people together in prayerful harmony, seeking blessings not only for their loved ones but also for society at large. Through this image, we witness devotion merging with nature's beauty—a testament to humanity's eternal quest for spiritual enlightenment amidst life's challenges.
