Peace and Purity in Monochrome in Black and White - monomad challenge.
Good evening to all my Hive friends .
The Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery stands as a serene haven of peace and spiritual reflection. Its tranquil atmosphere, adorned in shades of black and white, radiates a sacred harmony of light, shadow, and silence.
Every curve of the stupa, every petal of the lotus, and every saffron robe that gently flows tells a silent story of devotion and purity.
Mahamevnawa is not merely a place—it is a living sanctuary where the soul finds peace, humility, and renewal.

The six photographs I captured reveal Mahamevnawa Monastery from different perspectives — the towering white stupa reaching toward the sky, the serene meditation statues surrounded by calm, and the silent pathways inviting quiet reflection.
In monochrome, the contrasts become profound and meaningful. The dance between light and shadow unveils the true spirit of the place — where the purity of white against the depth of shade reflects the essence of Buddhist teaching: finding peace within balance.


In black and white, the monastery feels timeless. The ancient elegance of its architecture blends harmoniously with the stillness of nature. The rustle of the Bodhi leaves and the distant chant of a monk seem to echo through the image. In this moment, time itself appears to pause — as if to honor the sacredness that surrounds it.

Each photograph tells a story of inner calm and mindfulness. Whether it’s a close-up of a statue’s serene face or a distant view of the stupa under drifting clouds, every frame is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reflect.


Through this monochrome lens, the Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery reveals itself as more than just a place of worship it becomes a symbol of inner awakening and purity.
The simplicity of black and white reminds us that peace does not reside in color or form, but in the quiet depths of the heart.
Until we meet again, with another moment captured in black and white.
Thank you reading
Have A nice day.
Best Regards,
Samadi Madushanki .
