EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant celebration of Losar, the Tibetan New Year, in Bodhnath, Katmandu, Nepal. In this mesmerizing moment, Buddhist people come together to throw flour into the air as a symbolic gesture representing the Buddha's wisdom. The image showcases a lively group of men and women engaging in this age-old custom against the backdrop of Bodnath Stupa. The explosion of colorful flour creates an enchanting scene that epitomizes the joy and spirituality associated with this traditional festival. Losar is not only a time for merriment but also holds deep religious significance for Buddhists. It marks the beginning of a new year and symbolizes renewal and purification. As each handful of flour takes flight, it carries with it prayers for blessings, good fortune, and enlightenment. Photographer Marco Simoni/Robert Harding has masterfully captured this momentous occasion in stunning detail. The composition highlights both individual expressions and collective unity within this medium-sized group of people. The horizontal frame allows us to immerse ourselves fully in their exuberance while emphasizing their connection to nature and tradition. This remarkable photograph serves as a visual testament to the rich cultural heritage found in Nepal and Buddhism's profound influence on its people. It invites viewers on an unforgettable journey through color-filled skies during one of Asia's most cherished celebrations – truly a travel destination worth exploring firsthand!
