On International Chess Day 2025, a rare and beautiful moment was preserved through the lens of Navod De Silva, a photographer known for capturing humanity in its most authentic form. In a quiet Sri Lankan temple, young Buddhist monks sat cross-legged in robes of crimson and saffron, deeply engaged in a game of chess a scene where stillness met strategy, and mindfulness met movement.

Navod’s lens captures a powerful contrast: ancient tradition and a timeless game. It’s a tribute to how chess connects generations, philosophies, and nations. These young monks, absorbed in the 64 squares, show the world that chess isn’t limited by geography or belief , it’s a global language of thought and respect.

n the muted light of the temple courtyard, surrounded by nature and brick, chess becomes a form of meditation. Each move holds weight, not for victory, but for clarity. It’s a gentle reminder that chess can teach us to think deeper, act wiser, and respect every moment
