The Arunid Empire's ethos of religious tolerance and cultural inclusivity created a fertile ground for cultural exchange and diversity within Tapakdore. The region became a confluence of various cultural influences, with Pukhti, {{wp|Persian|Persi}}, and [[Istroyan]] traditions intermingling with indigenous customs. This cultural synthesis is evident in Tapakdore's architectural heritage, artistic expressions, and religious practices, which showcase a blend of diverse styles and beliefs. The vibrant cultural landscape of Tapakdore during the Arunid era was a testament to the empire's cosmopolitan spirit and the region's ability to absorb and adapt to external influences. Under the Arunid Empire's centralized administration, Tapakdore experienced a period of structured governance and integration into a vast imperial system. Imperial policies and regulations shaped the region's administrative framework, ensuring a degree of uniformity and consistency across the empire. However, the empire's recognition of local customs and traditions allowed Tapakdore to retain a degree of autonomy in matters of local governance. This approach fostered a sense of belonging and cooperation among the region's inhabitants, facilitating their integration into the larger imperial structure. The dissolution of the [[Arunid Empire]] in [[884]] CE marked a turning point for Tapakdore. The religious tolerance ended under the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] and attempts at cultural homogenization meant that some of traditions of the natives were lost to time. | The Arunid Empire's ethos of religious tolerance and cultural inclusivity created a fertile ground for cultural exchange and diversity within Tapakdore.

The Sultanate of Ruhunu Pura traces its origins to the ancient {{wp|Sinhalese|Tapakdi}} kingdom of Ruhuna. With the arrival of Islam through Arab traders, Ruhuna gradually adopted the faith, blending it with existing {{wp|Sinhalese|Tapakdi}} customs and Buddhism. The [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] recognized Ruhunu Pura's strategic importance for trade in the [[Aab-e-Farus]], establishing it as a sultanate. The Sultan of Ruhunu Pura is the head of state and government, advised by a council of ministers (Diwan) drawn from the nobility and religious scholars. Local administration is handled by regional governors (Disawe) and village headmen (Grama Niladhari). The sultanate follows Islamic law (Sharia) alongside traditional Sinhalese legal customs. Ruhunu Pura is a prosperous trading hub, renowned for its spices (cinnamon, cardamom), gemstones (sapphires, rubies), and textiles (silk, cotton). Its ports are bustling with ships from all across [[Audonia]]. Agriculture also thrived, producing rice, coconuts, and tropical fruits. | |||
