The Paranirvana of Buddha, Gal Vihara, Polonnaruva, Ceylon, 1870-1871. Creator: Joseph Lawton
The Paranirvana of Buddha, Gal Vihara, Polonnaruva, Ceylon, 1870-1871. The Buddhas death is called the parinirvana, which signals the moment when he moves into an eternal blissful state, free of any suffering or future rebirths. This state, known as nirvana, is the ultimate goal for followers of Buddhism. During the 8th century, a colossal depiction of the Buddhas parinirvana was the focus of worship at a monastic establishment on the island of Sri Lanka off the southeastern coast of India. By the 19th century, the site had fallen into ruins, and commercial photographer Joseph Lawton was selected by the British Archaeological Committee in Kandy, Sri Lanka, to document the site. Lawtons intentional inclusion of a Sri Lankan figure in a posture of adoration and a colonial Englishman clambering over the ruins provides a sense of the sculptures impressive scale
