EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the annual Procession of the Holy Relic of the Tooth, a significant religious event in the city of Kandy, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), circa 1908. Kandy is renowned as the home of the relic of the tooth of Buddha, a sacred casket containing the revered relic, which is carried on the back of an elegantly adorned elephant. The procession, known as the Kandy Perahera, is a vibrant display of Sri Lankan culture and traditions, attracting devotees and tourists alike. The image portrays a bustling crowd of people, many of whom are shielded from the sun by colorful umbrellas and parasols. The British colonial influence is evident in the presence of European spectators, dressed in their finery, observing the procession from the roadside. The streets are filled with a sense of anticipation and reverence, as the crowd eagerly awaits the arrival of the sacred relic. The annual Procession of the Holy Relic of the Tooth is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted religious customs of Sri Lanka. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the traditions and customs that continue to be celebrated in Kandy to this day.
