EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a visual journey deep into the heart of Sri Lanka's majestic Royal Rock Cave Temples. As we enter Cave No 2, also known as Maharaja Viharaya, we are immediately struck by the awe-inspiring sight before us. The statues and painted roof within this natural granite cave create an ethereal atmosphere that is both serene and mystical. The intricate details of the statues, crafted with devotion and skill, stand tall against the backdrop of the cave's rugged rock walls. Each Buddha statue exudes a sense of tranquility and enlightenment, inviting visitors to reflect upon their own spiritual journey. Above our heads stretches a mesmerizing painted ceiling that adds another layer of beauty to this sacred space. The vibrant colors depict scenes from Buddhist mythology, telling stories that have been passed down through generations. As we explore further into this architectural marvel, it becomes evident why Dambulla is considered one of Sri Lanka's most important religious sites. This photograph captures not only the grandeur but also the profound sense of reverence felt in these hallowed halls. Tony Waltham/Robert Harding has masterfully captured this moment in time, allowing viewers to experience firsthand the magnificence and serenity found within these ancient caves. It serves as a reminder that amidst our fast-paced world, there are still places where spirituality and artistry intertwine harmoniously to create something truly extraordinary.
