EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent 12th century Lankatilaka temple, located in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. The image, captured by artist CM Dixon in the 20th century, beautifully captures the emblematic structures of this ancient kingdom. Built under the reign of King Parakrabahu, this sacred site holds great significance in Sri Lankan history and religion. The focal point of the temple is undoubtedly the giant figure of Buddha, which dominates and fills up every inch of space within its shrine. The intricately carved stone exterior and facade of Lankatilaka are a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship that prevailed during that era. As one gazes upon this photograph, they can't help but be awestruck by its grandeur and architectural brilliance. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery on a sunny day, this religious masterpiece stands as a symbol of spirituality and devotion. It represents not only an important landmark for Buddhism but also serves as a reminder of Sri Lanka's rich cultural heritage. CM Dixon's expertly captured image allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic beauty embodied within Lankatilaka temple. It transports us back in time to an era where faith was expressed through monumental structures like these – standing tall as testaments to human ingenuity and reverence for something greater than ourselves.
