EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the circa 1920s, showcases the breathtaking sight of Sigiriya Rock Fortress, also known as Sinhagiri, located in the Central Province of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The massive column of rock, standing nearly 200 meters high, is a testament to the architectural prowess and rich history of this ancient land. The narrow lane leading to the fortress, flanked by typical rural scenery, transports us back in time to an era of British colonial rule. The image of cars and carts traversing the road, a symbol of modern transportation, contrasts sharply with the serene countryside dotted with trees and the imposing presence of Sigiriya in the background. Sigiriya Rock Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an awe-inspiring architectural marvel, built during the reign of King Kasyapa (477-495 CE). The fortress is renowned for its impressive frescoes, mirror wall, and the stunning views from its summit. This photograph offers a unique perspective of the fortress, inviting us to explore its mysteries and marvel at its grandeur. The British Empire's influence is evident in the image, with the presence of the cars, which were introduced to Sri Lanka during this period. However, the rural scene remains untouched, offering a glimpse into the typical countryside life of the time. The photograph serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and the intersection of the old and the new during the colonial era in Sri Lanka.
