From the religious point of view also, there is a deep relationship between the two countries. Places related to Ramayana like Ram Sethu, Ashok Vatika and Sita Amman Temple are still the hallmark of cultural relations between the two countries.

Trade and culture increased closeness

According to historians, trade relations between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka are about 2000 years old.
