The peak of the tourist season coincides with important events, such as the Galle Literary Festival, which brings together Asian and European writers for five days during the second half of January. The culture of Sri Lanka mixes modern elements with traditional aspects and is known for its regional diversity. The "rice and curry" is the national dish of the country.
