This photograph captures a serene moment at the Elefantenbadeplatz, an elephant bathing place, along the Mahavaliganga river near Kandy in 1926. The image showcases a picturesque landscape of Sri Lanka, with its lush greenery and flowing river creating a tranquil backdrop. As the sun shines brightly on this day, people from all walks of life gather to witness this enchanting spectacle. The scene is filled with anticipation as elephants gracefully make their way into the water for their daily bath. Their majestic presence commands attention as they playfully splash around in the cool river. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the harmonious relationship between humans and these gentle giants in Sri Lankan culture. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this historic print, transporting viewers back to the vibrant atmosphere of 1920s Kandy.

This photograph serves as a testament to Sri Lanka's rich geographical features and its deep-rooted connection with elephants. It encapsulates not only a specific time period but also represents an enduring bond between people, animals, and their natural surroundings.
