EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Sri Lanka's Anuradhapura, showcasing the magnificent Jethawena Stupa. As a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1982, this sacred city holds immense historical and cultural significance. The Jethawena Stupa stands tall as an archaeological marvel, representing the rich Buddhist heritage that permeates throughout Sri Lanka. The image showcases the architectural grandeur of this ancient structure against a backdrop of clear blue skies. Its towering columns and intricate design are testaments to the skilled craftsmanship of its creators from centuries past. Nature has gracefully intertwined with history here, as lush greenery now overgrows parts of this old ruin, adding an enchanting touch to its surroundings. Dating back to approximately the 3rd century, this stupa carries with it echoes of bygone eras and whispers stories from generations long gone. Standing in front of it evokes a sense of awe and reverence for those who appreciate both religious devotion and architectural brilliance. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by DEA / C.
