EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing view of the steps, terraces, and Zoroastrian temple in Surkh-Kotal, Afghanistan. The image showcases an architectural marvel that dates back to the second century, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this region. Originally dedicated to the renowned Kushan Emperor Kanishka by his successor Huvishka, this temple stands as a symbol of their power and influence during their respective reigns. The intricate design and craftsmanship displayed in this structure reflect the grandeur of ancient Afghan civilization. The desert landscape surrounding the temple adds an aura of mystique and timelessness to this photograph. It serves as a reminder of how nature's elements have stood witness to centuries of human existence and endeavor. The step-like formation leading up to the temple creates a sense of anticipation for those who approach it. Each terrace represents another level closer to spiritual enlightenment or divine connection within Zoroastrianism, one of humanity's oldest known religions. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Afghan School photographers, we are transported back in time. We can almost feel ourselves climbing these very steps towards enlightenment while being enveloped by whispers from centuries past. This print is not only a visual delight but also an invitation for us all to appreciate and honor our shared global history. Let it serve as a reminder that even amidst modernity, there are hidden treasures waiting to be discovered in every corner of our world.
