A woman and girl praying in front devotional statues at a Sri Lankan temple

An uncaptioned black and white portrait photograph showing a Sri Lankan woman and child praying in front of two devotional statues at a temple. The woman is standing and looking up towards one of two main statues. She wears a checked sarong-like garment and a white or light-coloured blouse. Her hair is tied in a bun behind her head. The girl is kneeling on the floor behind her and slightly to her right. Both have their hands together and raised, their right shoulders facing the camera. The two statues are on a stone plinth with an ornate base. The figure closest to the camera is sat cross-legged on a char and wears a tiered crown; the other figure, further from the camera, is standing and holding an object, possibly a sword, in its left hand. Both figures have their backs to a wall. Painted scences and carvings can be seen around the figures, on another wall in the background and on the sloping ceiling that meets at an angle in top left of the image. A rectangular window letting in also sunlight is visible in the background. The floor of the room is tiled with hexagonal tiles.
