It is known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean and the Teardrop of India.
These two gorgeous names are synonymous with Sri Lanka. This small island nation is known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean due to its remarkable natural beauty, extraordinary biodiversity, and rare jewels. Furthermore, the island has a teardrop form and is located off the coast of India, which is easier to see on a map. That is why it is also known as the Teardrop of India. A Google map snapshot of Sri Lanka is shown here to give you an idea of its location and shape.
