EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of spiritualism and cultural traditions during Tibetan New Year in Kathmandu, Nepal. In the dimly lit interior of a small temple on the north side of Boudha or Bodhnath stupa, an old woman is seen delicately lighting butter lamps. The warm glow emanating from these traditional lamps creates a mesmerizing ambiance that envelops the space. The image showcases the beauty and tranquility found within this sacred place of worship. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, it reflects the rich Asian heritage deeply rooted in Buddhism. As night falls, this contemporary scene becomes even more enchanting as each flickering flame illuminates both the surroundings and the devout woman's face. Kathmandu, being Nepal's capital city, holds immense religious significance for Buddhists around Asia. This photograph not only transports us to this remarkable travel destination but also provides a glimpse into one's personal journey towards enlightenment. Don Smith/Robert Harding has masterfully captured this moment with his lens, showcasing his profound understanding of photography as an art form. Through his lens, we are transported to a world where spirituality intertwines with everyday life – reminding us of our shared humanity and our universal quest for meaning
