EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the Ancient City of Polonnaruwa in Sri Lanka. Standing tall against the backdrop of an old ruin, a magnificent Reclining Buddha statue takes center stage, exuding a sense of tranquility and spirituality. The statue's peaceful expression invites contemplation and reflection. In this scene, a solitary praying monk stands beside the reclining Buddha, engrossed in deep meditation. His posture reflects devotion and reverence as he connects with his inner self amidst the ancient temple surroundings. The horizontal composition emphasizes their human representation within this sacred space. The day's soft light bathes both figures, enhancing their ethereal presence while highlighting intricate details carved into the stone sculpture. As part of UNESCO World Heritage List since 1982, this site holds immense historical significance and is revered as a place of worship for many. The photograph transports viewers to another time and place, inviting them to explore not only Polonnaruwa but also Sri Lanka's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that travel destinations can offer more than just visual delights; they can provide opportunities for spiritual growth and personal introspection. Captured by DEA / G. SOSIO UIG from Universal Images Group (UIG), this image encapsulates the essence of solitude, meditation, religion, and spirituality found within one man's journey through an ancient city steeped in history.
