The traditional art and architecture of Sri Lanka is predominantly Buddhist. Sri Lankan's mastered the art of rock carving over ten centuries ago. Even today one still sees evidence of their work when one visits the ancient ruins of Anuradhapura and other similarly historic locations, where several fascinating stupas and sculptures of Lord Buddha are found.

   Extractions: Airlines Best time to visit Buddhism Climate ... Visa Information Culture Sri Lankan society is multi-ethnic and multi-religious since the pre-historic times. The majority ethnic group is the Sinhalese who practice Buddhism. The second-largest group is the Tamils who are adherent to Hinduism. Others are Muslims and Christians. Sri Lankan society is dominantly marked by the caste system. Caste system in Srilanka is based on the theory that every person is born into a particular group which defines his or her fixed position within society for lifetime. Purity is one of the most basic concepts of caste system. The person in each caste must preserve their purity by avoiding the contact with the persons of lower purity. In Sri Lanka, there are two caste systems, one for the Sinhalese and the other for the Tamils. For the Sinhalese, although Buddhism discourages the distinction based on caste, it still exists but is not based on the concept of purity but on the basis of hereditary roles and functions. For the Tamils, Hinduism is a perpetuated influence on social division among themselves. Sri Lanka's classical architecture, sculpture and painting are predominantly Buddhist. Stupas sprinkle the countryside, and there are several extravagantly large Buddha's sculptures, notably at Aukana and Buduruvagala. Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa have the most impressive archaelogical legacy, but Kandy is the most thriving cultural centre today. Colonial remnants include Dutch forts, canal and churches and British residences, clubs and courthouses. Galle is the finest colonial city on the island.

Traditional art and architecture is predominantly Buddhist, and the country is dotted with stupas and sculptures of the Serene One. Traditional dance is all about agility and symbolism. Food is often fiery hot, with hoppers (pancakes) to wrap it all up, and the tea is as marvellous as you would expect. Woodcarving, weaving, pottery and metalwork are all highly developed crafts, and Sri Lanka is especially renowned for its gems. Ambalangoda is the best place to see Sri Lankan masks; Ratnapura is the centre of Sri Lanka's gem trade. Stupas sprinkle the countryside. Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa have the most impressive archaelogical legacy, but Kandy is the most thriving cultural centre today. Colonial remnants include Dutch forts, canals and churches and British residences, clubs and courthouses. Galle is the finest colonial city on the island. Sinhalese dancing is similar to Indian dance but relies on acrobatics, nimbleness and symbolism to unfold its narratives. Kandy is a good place to see 'up-country dancing', but Colombo or Ambalangoda are the places to witness the ritualistic exorcism of 'devil dancing'. Folk theatre combines dance, masked drama, drumming and exorcism rituals in vivid recreations of Sri Lankan folklore.

   Extractions: Site Map ...Together we can make the difference We firmly believe that every single individual can help, even in their own small way, to form an unstoppable force for a brighter more prosperous future in Sri Lanka. S ri Lanka, the jewel of the Indian Ocean, could be considered very much a jewel-in-the-rough by many people. This however, is not entirely true. There are many facets to Sri Lanka which are not always readily noticeable, but which are there nonetheless for anyone who wishes to look. Sri Lanka is a very special place on this earth. This specialty arises from the people and the specialty of the people arises from the land. It is a mutually supportive role, which supports and nourishes all. Take a closer look at the Sinhala Avurudda (Sinhala New Year) and the traditions, culture and history related to this important part of Sinhala Life. A look into the ancient Sinhala medicinal practices. An enduring Sinhala tradition also found in Kelaniya.
