EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling streets of Kandy, the cultural heart of Sri Lanka's Central Province, during the early 1910s. The British colonial influence is palpable in the scene, with European-style buildings lining the streets and a red-coated British soldier visible in the background. At the center of the image, a rickshaw pulls to a stop, its driver looking back at the passengers as they disembark. Rickshaws were a common mode of transportation in Sri Lanka during this period, providing an affordable and convenient way for people to get around the city. The passengers, likely locals, are dressed in traditional Indian attire, with the boys wearing loose-fitting shirts and dhotis. The palm trees lining the streets add a touch of tropical paradise to the scene, their fronds casting dappled shadows on the ground. The trees, along with the lush greenery and vibrant colors, serve as a stark contrast to the more austere European architecture. The bustling scene is a testament to the rich cultural diversity and vibrant energy of Kandy during the colonial era. The city, which is home to the Temple of the Tooth, a sacred Buddhist site, has long been a melting pot of different influences, from Indian and Sri Lankan to European. Today, Kandy remains an important cultural and spiritual center in Sri Lanka, attracting visitors from around the world who come to experience its unique blend of history, tradition, and natural beauty.
