Colombo
Colombo is the largest city and commercial capital of Sri Lanka, on the island's west coast. It was the birthplace of the Buddhist reformer Anagārika Dharmapāla (born David Hewavitarne in 1864), founder of the Maha Bodhi Society, and a centre of the modern Sri Lankan Buddhist revival; the activist A.T. Ariyaratne, founder of the Sarvodaya Shramadana movement, was also long active in the city.
