Résumé (en anglais)

Indigenous Sri Lankan culture received multifaceted influences from foreign cultures, mainly due to international cultural routes passing through the island. Their influences spread into hinterland through water and land routes, and were adsorbed by societies, forming a multifaceted heterogeneous culture with rich tangible and intangible elements. First most prominent was the prehistoric Indo Aryan cultures; of which climax was the introduction of Buddhism with Buddhist art and architecture during early historic period. Dravidian Cultures followed it. Transcontinental cultures were brought through Silk Road on the Sea, resulting cultural contaminations from the Far East and the West during historic period. Next was the infiltration of Chola and Pallava cultures along with Hindu Art and Architecture. During the medieval period, Mohammedans travellers and the Europeans brought Islamic and Christian elements respectively. The early international cultural routes prompted subsequent appearance of pilgrimage and trade routes, which extended from ports to hinterland Sri Lanka, encouraging spread of multifaceted culture. Purpose of this paper is to disclose findings from an ongoing research on “Impacts of International Cultural Routes on the Cultural Itineraries in Sri Lanka”.
