EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Hindu Temple, Pettah, Colombo" takes us back to the enchanting streets of Sri Lanka in the late 19th century. Captured by Alfred William Amandus Plate for his book "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" in 1910, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Asia. In this urban setting, amidst a bustling crowd of people going about their daily lives, stands an awe-inspiring Hindu temple. The intricate architecture and exquisite facade showcase the mastery of craftsmanship that went into its creation. This religious sanctuary serves as a testament to the deep spiritual beliefs and devotion prevalent in this part of the world. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the scene, transporting us to an era long gone. The background figures add depth and perspective while emphasizing the significance of community within religious practices. Plate's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also the historical importance encapsulated within this photograph. It serves as a window into both Sri Lanka's past and its enduring traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable vista from over a century ago, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and space, connecting us with cultures far removed from our own.
