EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph captures the essence of a sacred ritual in India. The image showcases Buddhist pilgrims immersing themselves in the holy waters of the River Ganges, an act believed to cleanse their souls and purify their sins. The scene is filled with vibrant energy as devotees from all walks of life gather on the riverbank, dressed in traditional costumes. The crowded atmosphere reflects the significance and popularity of this religious pilgrimage. The composition beautifully portrays the devotion and faith of these pilgrims, who have traveled far to partake in this ancient tradition. The flowing river symbolizes spiritual renewal, while the surrounding temples add a sense of reverence to the scene. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that religion transcends borders and cultures. This French School artwork provides a glimpse into Indian culture and its deep-rooted traditions. Dating back to 1905, this illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Parisien newspaper. Its inclusion highlights how global interest was piqued by such unique cultural practices. Through this print, we are transported to a different time and place – an era when spirituality played a vital role in people's lives across continents. It serves as a reminder that despite our differences, there are universal aspects that connect us all: our search for meaning and connection with something greater than ourselves.
