The Temple of the Tooth, Kandy, Ceylon, 1898
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting world of late 19th-century Ceylon. Captured by Christian Wilhelm Allers, it showcases the magnificent Sri Dalada Maligawa, also known as the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. Nestled within the royal palace complex in Kandy, this Buddhist temple stands as a testament to both religious devotion and architectural grandeur. In the foreground, we see an octagonal building called Paththirippuwa, adding a touch of elegance to this sacred site. Surrounding it are people going about their daily lives - men tending to cattle and a cart carrying goods along a dusty road. The presence of these individuals reminds us that amidst spirituality and tradition, life continues its vibrant rhythm. Allers' lithograph transports us not only through space but also through time. It offers a glimpse into an era when travel was more arduous yet filled with wonder and discovery. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed while appreciating what remains timeless. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is a window into history and culture. It invites us to explore the rich heritage of Sri Lanka's Buddhist traditions while admiring its architectural splendor. Let this remarkable piece transport you on a journey across continents and centuries – from Willy Allers' lens straight into your imagination.
