Sri Lanka's cultural melting pot evolved over the years due to outsiders—travelers, traders, and explorers—coming to its strategic location along the Silk Route. Settlers from North and South India, as well as ancient mariners and adventurers from China, Arabia, Rome, Greece, and Africa, arrived with the Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonizers. This island, which Mahatma Gandhi described as "unsurpassed on the face of the earth," was known by many names, including Lanka, Taprobane, Serendib, Cellao, Zellan, Ceylon, and finally Sri Lanka. While some travelers stayed, others left, all leaving their mark on the diverse culture that emerged from the fusion of cultures, clothing, languages, religions, and practices.
