EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a historic moment in the annals of Sri Lankan history, as the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, participates in the grand Perahara Festival in Kandy, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1876. The Prince, dressed in an elegant suit and top hat, is seen observing the traditional procession of dancers, musicians, and elephants that make up this annual celebration. The Perahara Festival is a significant religious and cultural event held in Kandy, the spiritual heart of Sri Lanka. It honors the relic of the Tooth of the Buddha, which is believed to bring blessings and prosperity to the kingdom. The festival is marked by a grand procession of dancers, musicians, and elephants, which winds its way through the streets of Kandy, culminating at the Temple of the Tooth. The Prince's visit to the Perahara Festival was a significant moment in the history of British rule in Sri Lanka. It marked the first time a British monarch had attended the event, signaling the growing cultural and political influence of the British in the region. The Prince's presence at the festival was also an opportunity for him to connect with the local people and demonstrate his respect for their traditions and culture. This photograph, taken in the 1870s, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era when Eastern and Western cultures collided, and a new chapter in Sri Lanka's history was written.
