While ancient cave and temple paintings are acknowledged as a significant element in the history of Sri Lankan paintings, representing distinct traditions of art of different ages, the blossoming of Sri Lankan art is strongly associated with the Anuradhapura era. However, little is known of the sociocultural and political significance of the paintings of this time which influenced the different painting traditions. As archaeological factors alone are inadequate to identify such influences on ancient art, this study attempts to enrich this inquiry by examining written sources such as the Mahavansa, Vamsatthappakasini, Visuddhimargaya, Samanthapasadika, Thupavanshaya and Mahabodhivanshaya of the thero Fa-Hien.Item Re- styling civilizations: Understanding changing repertoire of elegance in male dress fashions(Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, 2015) Karunaratne, P.V.M.This paper explores the necessity to take further analytical reading of the critical issues of hybrid male dress by using the knowledge on cultural authentication.

Many scholars addressed this issue of arbitrariness of the Western and non- Western categories of fashion. This revealed us the human societies are subjected to be continuously receiving from each other stimuli incorporating social, cultural, economic and political developments also internal and external influences that affect dress. This process resulted in generating new hybrid clothing styles. Scholars also argued Western fashions of dress are one of multiple global traditions that co-exist with long established cultural traditions. It is seen that Sri Lankan fashion markedly affects contemporary fashions in Western Europe. A qualitative research method was adopted for the research. Sequence of observational studies carried out with temple paintings, wood carvings, sculptures, cloth paintings and ivory carvings. The literary data were gathered from many original documents. Validations of data were much concerned. Sri Lanka was first exposed to Western during early phase of the 16th century when the Portuguese conquered the island. During this period the male dress fashion created a social distinction within Sri Lanka. Inspiration and hybridization were part of the process by which Western dress fashions and etiquette were adopted. Numbers of dresses were worn by the King and elite male show changing repertoire of elegant hybrid fashion etiquettes.
