 INDIA & SRI-LANKA
ART & CULTURE

The culture of Sri Lanka mixes modern

elements with traditional aspects and is
known for its regional diversity. The 
culture of Sri Lanka is influenced primarily
by Buddhism and Hinduism.
A country as diverse as India is symbolized
by the plurality of its culture. India has one
of the world's largest collections of songs,
music, dance, theatre, folk traditions,
performing arts, rites and
rituals, paintings and writings.
 INDIA & SRI-LANKA
ARCHITECTURE
The architecture of ancient Sri Lanka displays a
rich diversity, varying in form
and architectural style from the Anuradhapura
Kingdom (377 BC–1017) through the Kingdom
of Kandy (1469–1815).
Sinhalese architecture also displays many
ancient North Indian influences.

Architecture is perhaps India’s greatest glory.

Among the most-renowned monuments are many
cave temples hewn from rock ; the Sun Temple at
Konarak (Konarka); the vast temple complexes at
Bhubaneshwar, Khajuraho, and the Hindu, Muslim,
and Jaina architectural traditions.

calligraphy, and ikebana (flower arranging) and
gardening, as well as architecture, painting, and
sculpture.

Chinese culture is one of the world's

oldest cultures, tracing back to thousands of
years ago. Important components of Chinese

literature, martial arts, cuisine, visual arts,
philosophy and religion.
 CHINA & JAPAN
ARCHITECTURE
Japanese architecture has been typified by
wooden structures, elevated slightly off the
ground, with tiled or thatched roofs. Sliding
doors (fusuma) were used in place of walls,
allowing the internal configuration of a
space to be customized for different
occasions.

Chinese buildings have a long history

which can be traced back to the Shang
Dynasty (16th century BC - 771 BC
Ancient Chinese architecture is
mainly timberwork. Wooden posts,
beams, lintels and joists make up the
framework of a house.
