EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a serene moment in the heart of Sri Lanka's rich natural heritage, circa 1920s. The scene unfolds along the banks of a tranquil river, where majestic elephants and their devoted Mahouts engage in a ritualistic bathing ceremony. Mahouts, who are the elephants' primary caretakers, trainers, and riders, share an unbreakable bond with these gentle giants. The elephants, with their powerful and graceful forms, wade into the cool, crystal-clear waters, while their Mahouts skillfully guide them, ensuring their safety and comfort. The river's gentle current provides a refreshing respite for the elephants, who use their long trunks to splash water over their bodies, providing a natural bath and wash. The atmosphere is one of harmony and tranquility, as the elephants and their Mahouts bathe together, creating a symbiotic relationship that has existed for centuries. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of attendant Mahouts, who assist in the process and maintain a watchful eye over the proceedings. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka, where humans and elephants have coexisted in harmony for generations. The image is a testament to the deep respect and admiration the Sri Lankan people have for these magnificent creatures, and the profound connection they share with them.
