EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically between 1916-1917, in Mathura, India. The image showcases the iconic Bathing Ghats of Mathura, a series of steps leading down to the sacred river Ganges. These ghats hold immense religious significance for Hindus as they are believed to purify one's soul through ritualistic bathing. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a rowing boat gracefully gliding across the tranquil waters of the river. The boat serves as a mode of transportation for devotees who wish to reach the various temples located along the riverbank. The buildings lining up on either side exude an aura of spirituality and devotion. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to this historical photograph, allowing us to appreciate its timeless beauty. It is fascinating how this simple yet powerful image captures not only a geographical feature but also represents an entire country's rich cultural heritage. Mathura, situated in Uttar Pradesh state, is renowned as Lord Krishna's birthplace and attracts pilgrims from all over India. This print provides us with a glimpse into daily life during that era while highlighting India's deep-rooted religious traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by an unknown creator from long ago, it reminds us of our connection with history and invites contemplation about how much has changed since then – yet also how much remains unchanged in terms of faith and devotion towards something greater than ourselves.
