Nowadays, Sri Lanka has become a multiethnic and multi-religious nation and with faiths other than Buddhism, Christianity, notable Hinduism and Islam, the country is a great place of culture and tradition.
The culture of Sri Lanka has been shaped by several things in the ancient times. Generally the culture of Sri Lanka has been shaped by religious belief and subjugation of the British, the Dutch and the Portuguese. The New Year of Sinhalese is a very important culture of Sri Lanka as the festival is celebrated in the month of April and celebrated by almost every people of Sri Lanka. In the time when the sun moves from the Meena Rashiya to the Mesha Rashiya, all the people of Sri Lanka began to celebrate the cultural festival of Sri Lanka.
After the boom of globalization every part of the world become a part of larger global domain and Sri Lanka is not an exceptional one as here you can see Pizza Hut, McDonald, Domino's Pizza, Kentucky Fried Chicken and many more American food products. So, the culture of Sri Lanka has turned into a 'global' culture which is a combination of globalization and local tradition.
