EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Mauricio Abreu transports us to the enchanting world of Sonepur Mela, an annual fair held on the banks of the Gandak River in Bihar, India. The misty fog that blankets the scene adds a touch of mystery and allure to this vibrant cultural event. In this bustling atmosphere, we witness a boatman skillfully navigating his canoe through the river's calm waters. The boats and canoes scattered around him serve as essential modes of public transport during this grand celebration. They symbolize not only practicality but also tradition, as they have been used for centuries to ferry people across these sacred waters. The Sonepur Mela is renowned for its feasts, festivities, and age-old traditions that attract visitors from all over South Asia. It offers a unique opportunity to experience Indian culture at its most authentic form – with colorful stalls selling handicrafts, traditional music performances filling the air, and locals dressed in vibrant attire adding splashes of color against the misty backdrop. Mauricio Abreu's expert lens captures not just a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates an entire world within one frame. This photograph serves as a reminder that travel destinations like Sonepur Mela are gateways into rich cultural experiences waiting to be explored by those seeking adventure and connection with ancient traditions.
