EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant and timeless tradition of people bathing in the Hooghly River from a ghat near the iconic Howrah Bridge in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. The image showcases a full-length view of a diverse group of individuals engaging in this age-old practice. The statue-like figures stand tall against the backdrop of ornate architectural structures that adorn the riverbank. Men and women, traditionally dressed, immerse themselves in the sacred waters as part of their religious offering and cultural heritage rooted deeply in Hinduism. Their rear view adds an element of mystery to their identity while emphasizing their connection with this ancient ritual. The photograph's horizontal composition allows for a panoramic glimpse into this bustling travel destination. The vivid colors highlight both the vibrancy of Indian culture and the grandeur of local landmarks such as Howrah Bridge. Monumental statues further enhance the scene, symbolizing traditional values and serving as reminders of historical significance. Bruno Morandi/Robert Harding's masterful photography skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions tied to tradition, spirituality, and community. This stunning portrayal invites viewers to immerse themselves in this typically Indian experience along one of India's most famous rivers - an enchanting blend where past meets present on Kolkata's riverfront.
