EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the southern altar-like worshiping ground of the Ruwanwali-Dagoba in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. Built in accordance with the four cardinal directions, these ancient stone structures stand as a testament to the rich religious heritage of this Asian country. The image showcases the serene beauty of this sacred site, nestled amidst a breathtaking landscape. The monochrome tones add a sense of timelessness and evoke a nostalgic feeling, transporting us back to the 1920s when this photo was taken. As we gaze upon this archaeological marvel, we are reminded of the significance of Buddhism in Sri Lankan culture. These stone sacrifices symbolize devotion and reverence towards higher powers, inviting contemplation and spiritual connection. The print itself is part of "Der Indische Kulturkreis in Einzeldarstellungen" an esteemed collection by Georg Muller published in Munich during that era. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation capturing the essence of an ancient monument frozen in time. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the architectural grandeur but also invites us to delve into Sri Lanka's rich cultural tapestry. It reminds us that even centuries later, these sacred sites continue to inspire awe and wonder among visitors from all over the world.
