EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling street scene of Pettah, the native district of Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), during the 1920s. The British colonial rule over Ceylon, which began in 1815, had transformed Colombo into a thriving commercial hub of the Indian Ocean. Pettah, with its vibrant markets and diverse population, was the heart of the city's commercial activity. The photograph shows a busy road lined with low-rise buildings, their facades adorned with intricate woodwork and colorful signage. Shops spill out onto the sidewalks, their wares displayed enticingly for passersby. People of various ethnicities and backgrounds navigate the crowded streets, some carrying goods on their heads, others haggling over prices. Rickshaws, a common mode of transportation, can be seen weaving in and out of the traffic. A lone tree, standing tall in the midst of the urban landscape, provides a striking contrast to the surrounding buildings. Its branches reach out towards the sky, offering a glimpse of nature amidst the chaos of the city. The tree also serves as a reminder of the rich natural beauty that exists beyond the confines of the bustling streets of Pettah. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Colombo was a bustling colonial city, where people from diverse backgrounds came together to trade and live. It is a testament to the vibrant history and rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka.
