Sri Lanka has a documented history of over 2,000 years, mainly due to ancient historic scriptures like Mahawamsa,[REF] and with the first stone objects dating back to 500,000 BC [REF].
Even though clothing today is very much westernized and modest dressing has become the norm for everyone, ancient drawings and carvings such as 'Sigiriya art', Isurumuniya Lovers show how the pre-colonial Sri Lankans used to dress, which shows identical amount of clothing and status for men and women.
