description Sri Lanka Overview
Sri Lanka is an island country off the southern tip of India. Its Sinhalese Buddhist majority and Tamil Hindu minority reflect a layered religious history, and the island experienced a civil war from 1983 to 2009. UNESCO-listed sites include the rock fortress of Sigiriya, the ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, and Kandy's Temple of the Tooth. Tea, introduced under British colonial rule, which ended with independence in 1948, is grown on hill plantations and remains a leading export, alongside beaches that draw visitors.
