From fishermen to passing ships, Sri Lanka’s lighthouses have long shone for seafarers sailing off the island’s shores. Standing tall and shining bright, 14 of these gleaming beacons remain active today. Between Colombo, Galle, Beruwala and Batticaloa, their turning torches provide guiding light in dark times. Do the same with this sustainable t-shirt: modelled on Galle Fort’s lighted tower, 10% of profits go to charities in Sri Lanka.

On the light.

What's the story?

With searchlights sweeping across the night sky, Sri Lanka’s lighthouses are sights to behold. And Galle Fort’s glowing totem is one of the finest: placed prominent and proud amidst swaying palms, the British-built beacon blazes out over Galle Harbour, Dewata Bay and the Indian Ocean below.

As declared by the date above its door, Galle Lighthouse was erected in 1938 – a replacement for the lantern that burnt down before it. From its perch atop the Fort’s southeastern bastion, the picturesque pillar continues to warn of risky rocks lurking in the surrounding waters.

Eliya Gedara isn’t a definition found in any Sinhala to English dictionary, but it’s a linguistic combination befitting Galle Fort’s lofty signal: painted white and beaming bright, it’s truly a house of light.
