Daham Pasala by Neville M Gamage, 52 yrs (Galle)

Profile

Neville is married, with 2 daughters and 2 sons. He really started to learn photography upon joining the 'Day and Beyond' Project. The photographs were taken at the Daham Pasala which his children attend. Neville’s main interest lies in documentary photography. He likes to spend most of his free time together with his family.

Concept

Daham Pasala has been at the heart of Buddhist education for generations. I too have attended the classes of Daham Pasala to which my children go now. I go there taking them and fetching them back home. Daham Pasala is a different place. Children present themselves in white. Calmness in appearance and behaviour is expected and thus prevails, blending with the tranquility inherent in a temple.
