Sri Lanka has a tropical climate, with two monsoon systems bringing rain to different coasts at different times, so conditions vary depending on which side of the island you are on. Sri Lankan meals centre on rice and curry, with hoppers, string hoppers and kottu roti as everyday dishes. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays. The island was known as Ceylon until 1972, gained independence in 1948, and has ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa.
