This vibrant and captivating poster advertises the annual procession at the sacred Buddhist site of Holy Isipatana, located in Sarnath, near Benares, India. The image showcases the rich cultural heritage and deep spiritual significance of this historic location, which holds great importance in Buddhism. The poster, designed by the renowned artist Dorothy Newsome, features a majestic elephant adorned with intricate decorations, leading the way for devotees and monks in the procession. The elephant, a revered symbol of power and strength in Indian culture, represents the triumph of good over evil and the purity of the mind. The colourful banners and buntings hung along the route of the procession add to the festive atmosphere, reflecting the diverse and rich tapestry of Indian traditions. The people, dressed in their finest attire, are seen walking in a joyful and devotional mood, carrying offerings and chanting mantras. The poster also highlights the historical significance of the site, which is believed to be the place where the Buddha delivered his first sermon after attaining enlightenment. The serene and peaceful surroundings of Sarnath, with its ancient stupas and temples, provide a perfect backdrop for the annual procession, which attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists from around the world. The poster serves as a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of preserving our rich cultural and spiritual heritage. It is a testament to the deep-rooted belief systems that have shaped the course of human history and continue to inspire and influence us in the present day.
