EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Sri Lanka - the Banyan Baptism ceremony among the Banians in 1737. The image provides a rare glimpse into the customs and traditions of this ancient culture, showcasing the solemnity and beauty of this age-old ritual. In this ceremony, a child is given its name by elders within the community, symbolizing their entry into society and marking their identity within the group. The intricate details of the attire worn by participants, as well as the serene setting in Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), add to the historical significance of this event. The Banyan tree serves as a central focal point in this photograph, representing strength, wisdom, and longevity - qualities that are undoubtedly valued within Banian culture. As onlookers gather around to witness this sacred occasion, one can sense the reverence and respect with which each aspect of the ceremony is carried out. Through this image, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand a tradition that has been passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and highlights the importance of preserving cultural practices for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
