Sri Lanka is a multicultural society, and the inhabitants are very tolerant of the involuntary blunders of newcomers who do not yet know the local traditions at their fingertips.
The peak of the tourist season coincides with important events, such as the Galle Literary Festival, which brings together Asian and European writers for five days during the second half of January.
The culture of Sri Lanka mixes modern elements with traditional aspects and is known for its regional diversity.
The "rice and curry" is the national dish of the country.
In this country in the heart of Asia, it is customary to visit temples, whatever they are, with bare feet.
The country has a rich artistic tradition, with distinct creative forms that encompass music, dance, and the visual arts.
