EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, an idol of Buddha stands tall and majestic, silhouetted against the backdrop of the Tibetan Monastery in Lumbini. The image captures a moment of serene beauty as the golden statue is bathed in a warm, ethereal glow from behind. Taken on January 13,2012, just one day before the inauguration ceremony of Visit Lumbini Year 2012, this photograph holds great significance for both religious and cultural reasons. Lumbini province itself is renowned as the birthplace of Lord Buddha, making it a sacred site for millions around the world. The composition highlights not only the intricate details of the religious idol but also showcases its symbolic importance. The silhouette effect adds an air of mystery and reverence to this spiritual icon while emphasizing its timeless presence. Navesh Chitrakar's creative use of lighting brings out every contour and curve with remarkable precision. The absence of people allows viewers to fully immerse themselves in contemplation and appreciate the tranquility that emanates from this holy place. This image serves as a reminder that faith transcends borders and connects people across different cultures. It invites us to explore our own spirituality while paying homage to ancient traditions passed down through generations. With its powerful symbolism and masterful execution by Navesh Chitrakar, this print truly captures the essence of religion, tradition, and peace at one extraordinary moment in time.
