EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Council Chamber, a remarkable ancient structure located within the Citadel of Polonnaruwa in Sri Lanka. As a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the North Central Province in Sri Lanka. The image showcases the intricate carvings and detailed craftsmanship that adorn the ruins of this historical site. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies, the weathered stone walls tell stories of an era long gone by. The close-up shot allows viewers to appreciate every minute detail, highlighting both the beauty and decay that time has bestowed upon these antiquities. The presence of people in the background adds depth to this photograph, reminding us that even amidst ancient ruins, life continues to thrive. This juxtaposition between past and present further emphasizes how important it is for us to preserve our world heritage sites. With its strong Buddhist influence evident through animal likenesses and stereotypical Asian culture motifs carved into its walls, this Council Chamber serves as a spiritual landmark for those who visit it. Its significance lies not only in its archaeological value but also as a symbol of religious devotion. Through Ian Trower/Robert Harding's expert photography skills, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the magnificence and grandeur that once graced these hallowed grounds.
