Sri Lankan art is influenced by not just culture and traditions, but also religious beliefs. Such art forms may be seen in paintings, sculptures, and architecture all across the island. The frescoes in Sigiriya, religious paintings in Dambulla, and the Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy are among the most famous characteristics of Sri Lankan art.

 Exploring authentic and modern craft-making factories is one of the best ways to understand Sri Lankan art and craft culture, as well as the Sri Lankan way of life. Even today, the vast majority of handicrafts are still made by hand.
