EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in time, showcasing temple musicians from Kandy, Ceylon in 1898. The image is the creation of Christian Wilhelm Allers, a talented artist and writer known for his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth). In this particular scene, we witness two men immersed in their musical craft as they play the pipe and drums with great skill and devotion. The photograph exudes an air of spirituality and cultural richness, highlighting the religious arts that were deeply intertwined with everyday life in Ceylon during that era. These barefoot musicians are dressed in traditional attire, wearing lungis while passionately drumming away. Their music resonates through the temple walls, creating an enchanting atmosphere. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that these men are not merely playing instruments; they are channeling their faith through music. This portrayal offers us a glimpse into Buddhist traditions prevalent in Sri Lanka at the time. Christian Wilhelm Allers' lithograph brings to life a significant aspect of Ceylonese culture - its vibrant musical heritage within religious settings. Through this remarkable piece of artistry captured over a century ago, we can appreciate both the beauty of human expression and gain insight into historical practices that continue to shape Sri Lankan society today.
