EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Kandy. Perahera Procession Passing" takes us back in time to the enchanting streets of Kandy, Sri Lanka in the late 19th century. The image is part of a collection called "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" by Alfred William Amandus Plate, published in 1910. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness a grand religious procession known as the Perahera making its way through a sacred avenue. Local people gather along the road to witness this awe-inspiring spectacle that combines music, belief, and tradition. The rhythmic beats of drums resonate through the air as musicians lead the way for an elephant adorned with ornate decorations. The photo captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted spirituality of Sri Lanka. It serves as a metaphorical window into an era when literature and art were intertwined with religious practices. As we delve into this monochrome vista, we are transported to another world where centuries-old customs come alive before our very eyes. This print reminds us of how blessed we are to have glimpses into history preserved on paper – allowing future generations to appreciate and learn from these valuable moments captured by artists like Alfred William Amandus Plate.
