Religion in Colombo

Colombo is a multi-religious society. Though Buddhism is the major religion, other religions such as Hinduism, Christianity and Islam are also followed.

Colombo's most beautiful festival is the celebration of Buddha's Birth, Enlightenment and Death. In Sinhala this is known as Vesak. Christmas is another major festival in the city. Although Sri Lanka's Christians make up only just over 7% of the population, Christmas is one of the island's biggest festivals.
