Culture
Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, was ‘colonized’ from the Indian peninsula in the 6th century BC by Singhali, ancestors to the present day Sinhalese population, most likely from Northern India. In the 3rd century BC Buddhism was introduced, which to this day it is the biggest religion in the country. Because of the different influences coming into Sri Lanka at different times of its early history, the main Buddhist religion has become a bit mixed with Hinduism. The Buddhists on the island also know a caste system, which is actually a part of the Hindu religion. When visiting Buddhist temples in Sri Lanka you will often find Krishna statues in corners hidden behind curtains. There have been a series of different kingdoms throughout Sri Lanka’s history, which have left the most interesting buildings, temples and other places you can find on the island today, about which more information shortly.
