EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the enchanting world of childhood imagination and exploration. A group of children can be seen joyfully playing inside one of the magnificent instruments at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. This architectural marvel, built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur in 1724, is a collection of astronomical instruments that have stood the test of time. The children's laughter echoes through the ancient structure as they discover its secrets and create their own adventures within its walls. The instrument itself, constructed with bricks and rubble plastered with lime, bears graduated markings that were once used to take readings of celestial spheres. As these young explorers immerse themselves in this historical wonderland, they unknowingly bridge the gap between past and present. Their innocent play breathes life into an otherwise silent monument, reminding us that even amidst grandeur and sophistication, there is always room for childlike wonder. Through this image captured by Parth Sanyal on September 29th, 2009 for Reuters Images, we are reminded of the universal nature of curiosity and how it transcends time and place. These children serve as a reminder to cherish our inner child and find joy in exploring our surroundings no matter where we may be.
