EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the reverence and awe surrounding the sacred relic of the Buddha's tooth, housed in the hallowed chambers of the Sri Dalada Maligawa, or Temple of the Tooth, in Kandy, Sri Lanka. Dating back to circa 1909, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and religious history of Sri Lanka and its deep-rooted Buddhist traditions. The tooth relic, a highly venerated object of worship for Buddhists, is believed to have been brought to Sri Lanka in the 4th century AD by Princess Hemamali and her husband, Prince Dantha, who smuggled it out of India to protect it from Hindu invaders. The tooth is enshrined in a golden casket, intricately decorated with precious gems and ornaments, and is carried in a grand procession during the annual Esala Perahera festival. The Temple of the Tooth, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a stunning architectural masterpiece, reflecting the unique fusion of Sri Lankan, Thai, Indian, and Portuguese influences. The temple complex is a labyrinth of intricately carved wooden pillars, colorful frescoes, and ornate statues, all bathed in the soft glow of oil lamps and candles. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and grandeur of the temple and its sacred relic but also the deep devotion and faith of the pilgrims who flock to Kandy to pay their respects to the Buddha's tooth. The image transports us to a time when spirituality and reverence for ancient traditions still held sway over the world, making it a fascinating and evocative glimpse into the past.
