EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1902, capturing the exquisitely carved ornamentation of a Hindu Buddhist Temple in Colombo, Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka). The temple stands proudly in the capital city, showcasing its intricate architecture and rich cultural heritage. The monochrome image highlights every delicate detail of the temple's exterior facade. The stone carvings are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship that went into creating this magnificent structure. Each ornate design reflects both Hinduism and Buddhism, two major religions practiced in Sri Lanka. The stereoscopic card format adds depth and dimension to the photograph, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this historical moment. Underwood & Underwood Studios expertly captured this architectural marvel with their keen eye for composition. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene from over a century ago, we can't help but appreciate how religion has shaped not only Sri Lankan culture but also its physical landscape. This print serves as a visual reminder of our shared human history and the enduring power of religious devotion. Courtesy of The Print Collector via Heritage Images, this stunning snapshot invites us to explore the beauty found within sacred spaces while honoring the legacy left behind by those who came before us.
