I dun think Rani Padmini was a foreigner to india. Its highly unlikely for some rajput prince to go all along to sri lanka crossing seas and marrying a princess there. About the culture being different well among rajputs you will find different sub sections who will have different style of living and following customs..

An interesting fact that i read on net was that during 13-14 century, in Ceylon there was a Rajputana influence in the royalty. It been proved by a certain flag used during that period which was similar to that of rajputanas. The garuda flag. The royalty influenced/joined by rajputana were called Karava clan.

http://www.karava.org/garuda_flag

A script of the same:

The Garuda Flag was used by King Parakramabahu V (AD 1348 - 1360) of Dedigama as the royal or national flag [1]. It was similar to the Garuda flag used by the Rajputs of Rajastan, India[2] .

During the reign of King Parkramabhu II, in the year A.D. 1237, the famous Rajput Thakura arrived in Sri Lanka . He married the daughter of Vijayabahu III, who was also the sister of the reigning monarch. Later, when General Mitta assassinated Vijayabahu IV in A.D. 1270 and usurped the throne, Rajput Thakura personally slew Mitta and placed his own nephew Buvanekabahu I on the throne[3].

According to inscriptional evidence, a grandson of Rajput Thakura, named Thakuraka Mandalika Raja of Dedigama formed the Keerawella royal family in the 14^th century. His daughter, Princess Swarna Menike (Ran Menike) 'was the chief queen of Parakrama Bahu VI of Kotte[4].

This Keerawella royal family was the ultimate repository of the Surya Wansa Sri Sangabo Okkaka Lemeni Kula line of kings of Ceylon. Thus Rajput Thakura founded the family which was the fountain and ultimate locus source where from; the kings of Gampola, Kotte, Sitawaka, Kandy and Raigama sought their queens in the 15^th and 16^th centuries[5].

Hugh Nevill notes that the first three pages of the Keerawella Bandaravaliya in his collection[6] appeared to have been vandalised and thereby obscured the progenitor of this family. However the inscriptions quoted above now fill this void.

History sometimes can be quite enticing😃
