EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Satmahal Prasada, a temple located in the Polonnaruwa Quadrangle of Sri Lanka. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Buddhism in Asia. The intricate details and ornate design of the temple are beautifully captured in this image, highlighting its grandeur and historical importance. The ancient stone structure is adorned with delicate carvings that depict religious scenes, showcasing the craftsmanship of artisans from the 12th century. Surrounded by lush greenery and an overgrown tree, this photograph transports us back in time to an era when Satmahal Prasada was at its prime. The combination of nature's embrace and human-made beauty creates a serene atmosphere that invites contemplation and reflection. As we gaze upon this vertical composition, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by both the architectural prowess displayed here and the spiritual significance it holds for those who practice Buddhism. This place of worship has become not only a national landmark but also one of Sri Lanka's most cherished travel destinations for those seeking to immerse themselves in its rich archaeological sites. Through Matthew Williams-Ellis/Robert Harding's lens, we are transported into another world - one where religion intertwines with history, where old meets new through photography. This print serves as a reminder that our past holds immense value; it shapes our present and guides us towards understanding our shared humanity.
