Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, visited Sri Lanka twice since independence, first in 1953 and then in 1981. The Queens second visit was to attend the celebrations marking 50 years of universal adult franchise in Sri Lanka. The Victoria Dam under the Mahaweli Diversion Programme was ceremoniously opened by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1984.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in Sri Lanka's history - The Queen's Royal visit to the country from 21st to 25th October 1981. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II graced Sri Lanka with her presence twice, first in 1953 and then again in 1981. During her second visit, she attended the grand celebrations commemorating 50 years of universal adult franchise in the nation. The image showcases a vibrant ceremony where dancers adorned with torches mesmerize onlookers. Their graceful movements illuminate the night as they pay homage to this significant event. This particular snapshot was taken on the memorable day of 24th October 1981.
