EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring sight of the Sacred bo-tree at Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. Planted from a shoot brought all the way from the very tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment, this sacred bo-tree holds immense historical significance. Guarded with utmost reverence throughout centuries, it stands as a living testament to ancient times and is considered the oldest recorded tree still thriving today. The vibrant prayer-flags adorning its surroundings add a burst of color and spirituality to this enchanting scene. These brightly colored flags symbolize prayers and blessings offered by devotees who visit this revered site for worship and reflection. Located in Sri Lanka, a country deeply rooted in religious traditions, this image captures not only the beauty of nature but also represents an important aspect of Buddhist faith. The concept of worshipping such sacred trees holds great importance within Buddhism, signifying devotion and spiritual connection. Photographed by CM Dixon, whose lens beautifully encapsulates the essence of heritage sites around the world, this print invites viewers to appreciate both cultural richness and natural wonders. It serves as a reminder that certain places hold profound significance beyond their physical appearance - they are embodiments of history, religion, and human devotion.
