The 2022 Sri Lankan Protests (අරගලය)













Welcome to my photo gallery capturing the powerful and inspiring 2022 Sri Lankan Protests against the government’s mishandling of the economy. These protests began in March 2022 and were marked by mass gatherings of citizens demanding change and accountability.
The photos showcase the massive crowds that occupied Galle Face and its surroundings on March 9, 2022, as protesters expressed their frustration and anger towards the government. From colorful banners and signs to lively musical performances, the demonstrators found creative ways to make their voices heard.
One of the most striking images in this gallery is the Agitation Site near the Presidential Secretariat, which was dubbed “Gota-Go-Gama” by the protesters. This self-sufficient community was a testament to the incredible resilience and solidarity of the demonstrators. The photos show the dozens of tents that were set up, as well as the free food, water, and medical care that was provided to protesters.
These photos capture the determination and courage of the Sri Lankan people as they fought for their rights and demanded change from their government. Despite facing numerous challenges, including daily blackouts and shortages of essential goods, the protesters refused to be silenced and continued to peacefully demonstrate.
Overall, this photo gallery is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity and the importance of standing up for what is right.
