EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Fayaz Kabli, we witness a poignant moment during the Islamic month of Ramadan in Srinagar. A Kashmiri man stands before the gate of the shrine dedicated to Sufi Saint Mir Syed Ali Hamadani, his hand gently reaching out to touch a chain that is intricately tied to it. The man remains unrecognizable, allowing us to focus solely on the profound symbolism portrayed in this image. The chain itself bears Arabic writing and serves as both an ornament and a religious symbol. Its vibrant colors contrast beautifully with the serene environment surrounding it. As sunlight filters through the air, casting a warm glow upon everything it touches, we are reminded of the spiritual significance of this place. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us into an atmosphere filled with devotion and reverence. It speaks volumes about faith and its ability to connect people across cultures and borders. Through creative use of composition and lighting, Kabli has managed to encapsulate both the physical beauty of this decoration as well as its deeper meaning within Islam. As we gaze at this image, our senses are awakened – from feeling the texture of the chain against our fingertips to hearing whispers of prayers carried by gentle winds. It serves as a powerful reminder that religion can be found even in small gestures such as touching an ornamental chain tied to a sacred gate during Ramadan.
