EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Navesh Chitrakar, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Bhaktapur, Nepal. The image showcases a skilled artisan diligently drying earthenware oil lamps, known as "Diyo" under the warm sun outside his workshop. This scene captures the essence of preparation for the upcoming festival of Tihar. Tihar is widely celebrated in Nepal as the festival of lights, where devotees honor and worship the goddess of wealth, Laxmi. As dusk falls during this auspicious occasion, homes across the country are illuminated with these beautifully crafted Diyo lamps. The man's meticulous work signifies not only his dedication to his craft but also his devotion to religious traditions. The aerial view allows us to appreciate both the scale and artistry involved in creating these traditional oil lamps. Multiple rows of neatly arranged Diyo fill our gaze while they bask in nature's gentle embrace. Against a backdrop of blue skies and scattered clouds, this snapshot encapsulates an enchanting blend of human creativity and natural beauty. Through Chitrakar's lens, we catch a glimpse into Nepali society and its rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive amidst modernity. This photograph serves as a reminder that tradition holds immense value even in today's fast-paced world—a testament to how rituals can unite communities through shared experiences and celebrations like Tihar.
