EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring Temple of the Holy Tooth, located in Kandy, Sri Lanka. As the chief temple for Buddhists in Ceylon, it holds a sacred relic - a tooth believed to have belonged to Buddha himself. The image showcases the architectural grandeur of this revered temple, with its intricate carvings and ornate decorations. The photographer skillfully captures the play of light and shadow on the temple's facade, adding depth and texture to the composition. The Temple of the Holy Tooth is not only a place of worship but also an important pilgrimage site for Buddhists from around the world. Its historical significance and spiritual aura make it a must-visit destination for those seeking enlightenment or simply marveling at its beauty. This photograph is part of a private collection by an English photographer from the 19th century. It was originally featured as an illustration in "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" published around 1900. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to experience both the physical magnificence of this ancient structure and its profound religious importance. It serves as a reminder that even through photography, we can connect with distant cultures and appreciate their rich heritage.
