LAKARCADE STORY
Nestling in the heart of the Indian ocean lies the teardrop isle of Ceylon. Ceylon became known as Sri Lanka – “Resplendent Land” in Sanskrit. In so doing, it reverted to its most ancient name, coupled with the honorific prefix, Sri. However long before this, Lanka was the classical name bestowed on the island by the Ramayana, an ancient Indian epic. History evolved and the term Lak was derived from Lanka used and further evolved for centuries to come.
This was the inspiration behind the brand name LAKARCADE where we were deeply motivated to incorporate the Historic significance of Sri Lanka to the contemporary world. This brought about the marriage of the words LAK-ARCADE. Further the tear drop nation and its immense significance in world history has inspired LAKARCADE to incorporate the island’s teardrop shape in its logo and motif from historic Ceylon which we believe is unique and is dear to our hearts.
