EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Peter Barritt showcases the awe-inspiring Reclining Buddha in Nirvana at Gal Vihara Rock Temple, located in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. This ancient and significant landmark stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and historical importance of this South Asian country. The statue itself is an exquisite example of intricate carving on granite, with its eyes gently closed and a serene expression adorning its ornate face. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing the essence of Buddhist teachings and traditions. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era steeped in antiquity and archaeological wonders. The Reclining Buddha invites us to contemplate the depths of our own spirituality while immersing ourselves in the tranquility that surrounds it. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gal Vihara holds immense significance for both locals and visitors alike. It serves as a reminder of Sri Lanka's deep-rooted Buddhist roots and offers solace to those seeking inner peace within its hallowed walls. Peter Barritt's skillful photography beautifully captures every nuance of this iconic reclining figure against a backdrop that exudes serenity. Through his lens, he transports us into a world where time seems suspended, inviting us to explore not only the physical beauty but also the spiritual resonance that lies within this sacred place.
