With an integration of traditional and modern elements, the culture of Sri Lanka is an epitome of diversity. Mainly influenced by Theravada Buddhism and still showcasing its strong heritage in the central and southern provinces, it is fit to say, that Sri Lanka is a regionally diverse country. The northern parts of the country shows off some influences from South India while history also states that Sri Lankan culture has been impacted by colonialism with the Portuguese, Dutch and British invasions taking place and intermingling as time passed by.
