The Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon

Known in ancient times as Lanka, Lankadweepa (meaning "Resplendent Land" in Sanskrit), Taprobane and Serendib (derived from the Sanskrit name Sinhala-dweepa) and Selan, the island became known as Ceylon in colonial times, a name still used on occasion. Its unique shape and proximity to the Indian mainland have led some to unofficially label the island as India's Teardrop.

Ceylon, is located in the Indian Ocean. It is a very small island and it is located southeast from India .Because of it being so small and because of its placement in the Indian Ocean, Ceylon is often given the nickname “Pearl of the Indian Ocean"
