EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing the grandeur of an entrance to a Hindu Temple in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The intricate details of this architectural masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. The photograph showcases various building elements that make up the temple's entrance. From the elegant archway to the meticulously carved balustrade, every aspect exudes a sense of divine beauty. The portico stands tall and proud, inviting devotees and visitors alike into its sacred space. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the low relief work adorning the walls. Each sculpture tells a story, reflecting both Indonesian and Asiatic influences on Sri Lankan culture. It is through such artistic expressions that we gain insight into the rich tapestry of traditions woven by different populations over centuries. Beyond being a mere depiction of architecture, this photograph also serves as an anthropological treasure trove. It offers glimpses into the diverse population and nationalities present in Colombo during that era. Through studying these aspects alongside folklore and ethnography, we can better understand how communities have evolved over time. As we admire this remarkable image captured by Apothecaries' Company Ltd. , let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance. This print allows us to step back into history and witness firsthand how artistry intertwines with spirituality within Hindu temples like this one in Colombo.
