Sri Lankabhimanya
Sri Lankabhimanya is one of the highest national honours of Sri Lanka awarded by the President of Sri Lanka on behalf of the Government, falling alongside the National Hero of Sri Lanka. It is the country's highest civil honour and is conferred upon "those who have rendered exceptionally outstanding and most distinguished service to the nation". The honour can only be held by five Sri Lankans at any given time, and may also be conferred posthumously; A. T. Ariyaratne is the sole currently living recipient of the award. Since 1986, it has been awarded 8 times.
