EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the awe-inspiring Statue of Parakramabahu I, a majestic figure from the ancient city of Polonnaruwa in Sri Lanka, circa 1907. Dating back to the 12th century, Parakramabahu I was a renowned king of the Polonnaruwa Kingdom, known for his immense contributions to the arts, architecture, and irrigation systems. The statue, located near the Potgul Vehera temple, depicts Parakramabahu I in a grave and solemn expression, holding what appears to be a book or yoke in his hands. The intricate carving and the immense scale of the statue are a testament to the advanced artistic skills of the ancient Sri Lankan artisans. The figure's serene demeanor and the intricate details of the statue have led some scholars to speculate that this may be a depiction of a sage rather than a king. Regardless of its true identity, the statue stands as a powerful symbol of the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of Sri Lanka during the 12th century. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, provides a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the immense craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the ancient Sri Lankan civilization. The statue continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day, reminding us of the enduring legacy of the ancient kingdom of Polonnaruwa.
