| dc.description | Sri Lanka is centrally located in the Indian Ocean below the southern tip of the Indian peninsula; being separated by the Palk Straits which is only 35Km long, Thus Sinhalese had continuous Indian influences since time immemorial. According to the great chronicle Mahavamsa the first human settlement of Ceylon begins with the arrival of Vijaya and his 700 companions who had been banished for misconduct from the Kingdom of ‘Sihapura’ in Northern India . According to the Mahavamsa the entry of Buddhism to Sri Lanka occurred in the region of Devanampiya Tissa (250-210 BC) with the patronage of the great Mauran Emperor Asoka . | en_US |
