EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of tranquility and reverence as monks gaze upon the majestic reclining Buddha statue at Gal Vihara in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka, is a testament to the rich cultural and historical heritage of this ancient land. The image showcases the intricate carving and vibrant colors of the magnificent stone statue, which stands as a symbol of Buddhism's profound influence on Sri Lankan culture. The monks' presence adds an aura of spirituality and awe to the scene, their red robes contrasting beautifully against the yellow hues surrounding them. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back in time to explore the archaeological wonders that dot this remarkable site. The attention to detail in every aspect - from the carefully crafted human likeness of the Buddha statue to its grand scale - speaks volumes about both artistic mastery and religious devotion. Through Ian Trower/Robert Harding's lens, we witness not only a snapshot frozen in time but also an invitation to immerse ourselves in history and tradition. This image serves as a reminder that places like Gal Vihara hold immense significance for those seeking spiritual enlightenment or simply wishing to connect with our shared past.
