The cleansing Ganges, the humbling Himalayas, the undulating Thar, the stunning Taj, the exotic dances of Ladakh, the beautiful colours of Rajasthan, the amazing martial art of Kerala (Kalari), the Kathakali dancer, the henna-adorned hands, the mustached man, the elephant, the Buddha in the light of a thousand little lamps…

India, characterized by unity in staggering diversity, by a culture that goes back a few millennia, by a deep spirituality that has withstood the onslaught of globalization, is home to a million such sights and experiences…that makes the tourists keep coming back for more and more encores.
