Sri Lanka, The isle of Serendipity! On the scale of
a world map, Sri Lanka previously known as Ceylon
appears to hang like a tiny teardrop over the Indian Ocean! Recorded history of Sri Lanka began when Buddhism gave birth to
a cultural revolution more than 2000 years ago. Buddhism is still
preserved in its purest form. Different religious and ethnic groups
live side by side in total harmony in a democratic society.
