What drew me to this festival was not just the explosion of turmeric in the air, but the faith behind it. Thousands of devotees gather, chanting and covering everything in yellow as a symbol of devotion, hope, and gratitude for a good agricultural season. At the heart of the festival sits Sri Keloba Rajabau Waghmode, lovingly called the “Old Man,” under a banyan tree. People throw haldi over him and seek his blessings. He is believed to be a messenger of God, someone who predicts rain, farming conditions, and the community’s future. Through my photographs, I wanted to capture more than color I wanted to show belief, tradition, and the emotional connection between people and ritual. One challenge was working in dense turmeric clouds, protecting my gear while staying present in the moment. Going forward, I want to continue documenting such cultural stories that reflect India’s deep rooted heritage and living traditions. | Streetwala]]> https://www.cizucu.com/it/photos/pFQEsppBNxxk6rpAASrB Streetwala https://www.cizucu.com/it/users/OGYs9dPuIAXJAbbtI7qDEOZ2cq82 https://www.cizucu.com/it/photos/pFQEsppBNxxk6rpAASrB Wed, 25 Feb 2026 14:36:03 GMT 2026-02-25T14:36:30+09:00 https://cdn.cizucu.com/images/photos/pFQEsppBNxxk6rpAASrB.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&cs=srgb <![CDATA[This photograph is part of Gulabi, a documentary series named after my grandmother, capturing the quiet rhythms of her life in her modest home in Udupi, Karnataka, India. At ninety, her presence held both fragility and strength — a living archive of memory, resilience, and grace. In this frame, she sits in stillness while a small cat rests on her shoulder, an unspoken companionship that softens the solitude often associated with aging. The gesture is simple, yet deeply human — care expressed without words. Gulabi took her last breath in February 2025. This image, and the series as a whole, is one I return to often. It fills me with quiet pride to know that her presence will continue to live on through these photographs for years to come. The series reflects on aging as a state of dignity rather than decline. It invites us to reconsider what we overlook: the beauty of routine, the intimacy of silence, and the emotional landscapes contained within everyday life. Moving forward, I hope to continue exploring themes of human consciousness and intergenerational spiritual connection. My challenge is to document with tenderness and honesty — preserving and creating stories that risk disappearing in the speed of modern life, while safeguarding the essence of what it means to be truly human and to coexist in this world. | Shetty Karthik]]> https://www.cizucu.com/it/photos/SaattyEITUWZ19MyOfcT Shetty Karthik https://www.cizucu.com/it/users/4CAGdl8B7GXvaOKe9WeEAoMcJ232 https://www.cizucu.com/it/photos/SaattyEITUWZ19MyOfcT Tue, 24 Feb 2026 18:17:48 GMT 2026-02-24T18:18:09+09:00 https://cdn.cizucu.com/images/photos/SaattyEITUWZ19MyOfcT.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&cs=srgb
