1901 Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka

Anuradhapura, one of Sri Lanka's ancient royal capitals, is home to numerous Buddhist stupas built over two millennia. This 1901 photograph captures one of these dome-shaped dagobas, structures traditionally raised to enshrine sacred relics and mark sites of religious significance.
