Nowhere else does one see such an amazing diversity not only in terms of religion, customs and communities, but also the variation in landscapes and lifestyles. If India is famous for the snow-clad Himalayas, it is also known for its warm sunny beaches. It is here that architecural masterpieces of the yesteryears stand tall with modern buildings. Almost a continent in itself, today India is the world's largest democracy. From the ancient times, people from all over the world have been drawn to India. Coming from the oldest civilizations, the Indus Valley; the Greeks, Persians, Turks, Mughals and then the Europeans have each added their influence threads that have collectively enhanced the rich cultural fabric that is today's India. India is a country where hospitality is a way of life. A vast country where ancient traditions, rituals and cuisines still reflect the social, religious and geographical diversity born out of centuries of social upheaval.
