Though often simply considered India's tropical sister, Sri Lanka has a fascinating culture and history all its own. Long known as Ceylon, it was a British crown colony until 1948 and officially became Sri Lanka in 1972. Unlike in India, the majority of Sri Lankans are Buddhist, and their devotion to the religion has resulted in numerous beautiful landmarks around the country. Marco Polo was so impressed with Sri Lanka that he declared it the most beautiful island of its size in the world, and most visitors tend to agree.
