EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Main Street at Pettah, Sri Lanka, in the year 1932. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of this fascinating country. Pettah, located in the heart of Colombo, the commercial capital of Sri Lanka, has long been known for its bustling markets and diverse array of local shops. In this photograph, we see a lively procession of people and goods moving along the narrow street, as merchants display their wares from the open doors of their shops. The street is a riot of colors and textures, with bright fabrics, intricately patterned pottery, and piles of spices and fruits creating a visual feast for the senses. The air is filled with the aroma of freshly cooked food, the sound of haggling voices, and the clanging of metal pots and pans. Despite the passage of time, the spirit of trade and commerce that has long defined Pettah remains unchanged. The local shops, many of which have been in operation for generations, continue to attract visitors from all corners of the world, offering a unique and authentic shopping experience. This photograph is a testament to the enduring character of Pettah and the resilience of its people. It invites us to explore the rich tapestry of Sri Lankan culture and history, and to appreciate the beauty and diversity of this remarkable country.
