EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Temple of the Holy Tooth in Kandy, Ceylon. Taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, this image showcases the intricate architecture and rich history of this sacred place. The temple is a significant religious site for Buddhists, housing what is believed to be a tooth relic of Lord Buddha. Surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees, the temple stands as a testament to both natural beauty and human craftsmanship. Its grandeur reflects the influence of British colonial architecture during that time period. The postcard-like quality adds a touch of nostalgia to this historical snapshot, evoking memories of a bygone era when handwritten correspondence was cherished. It serves as a reminder not only of Ceylon's past but also its cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the devotion and spirituality that emanates from within these hallowed walls. This photograph invites us to appreciate not only the physical structure but also its significance as a symbol of faith and reverence for millions around the world. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to marvel at its beauty while contemplating our own connection with history and spirituality.
