Silent StrengtH

Photographed spontaneously in Kandy in 2022, this portrait captures an elderly man seated quietly with a pink lotus flower in hand likely a symbol of devotion as he prepares to worship at the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. Despite the visible signs of hardship in his appearance and attire, his serene expression and offering speak volumes about unwavering faith and inner strength. This image reflects the contrast between material poverty and spiritual richness, reminding us of the quiet dignity found in devotion.
