EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Gabriela Bhaskar, a man delicately hangs a lantern in preparation for the Chinese Lunar New Year at the Mahayana Buddhist Temple in Manhattan, New York. The low angle view emphasizes the grandeur of the temple's exterior and its intricate brickwork, while showcasing the creative use of hanging lanterns to adorn the building's ceiling. As we enter into a new year, this ritualistic act symbolizes an important cultural celebration that brings together communities to honor tradition and embrace hope for what lies ahead. The Chinese Lunar New Year is a time when families come together to celebrate with vibrant decorations like these lanterns that add charm and beauty to their surroundings. The silhouette of the man against the wall adds an air of mystery and intrigue as he carefully positions each lantern. His dedication reflects not only his personal commitment but also highlights how architecture can be transformed into an expression of culture and festivity. This photograph serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and our ability to find joy in celebrating diverse traditions. It captures both the essence of Chinese culture and showcases how rituals can bring people from all walks of life closer together during moments filled with light, color, and anticipation.
