At the center of a crowd drenched in ecstatic crimson powder, I captured the exact moment a brilliant arc of orange water cascaded down. It was a moment where all bounds of religion, class, and daily life were cast aside to embrace the raw energy of the festival. Through the heat and sheer joy radiating from this dense crowd, I wanted to deeply color the viewer's emotions, transcending the boundaries of the frame.
