Indian Tourism
Few countries in the world
have such an ancient and diverse culture as India's. Stretching back in an
unbroken sweep over 5000 years, India's culture has been enriched by successive
waves of migration which were absorbed into the way of life.
It is this
variety which is a special halmark of India. Its physical, rligious and racial
variety is as immense as its linguistic diversity. Underneath this diversity
lies the continuity of Indian civilization and social structure from the very
earliest times until the present day.
Modern India presents a picture of
unity in diversity to which history provides no parallel here
is a catalogue of everything Indian. Indian festivals, religions,
rituals, artifacts, monuments,
costumes, music and dance, language and literature. Come and
discover India through different ways.
Geography : India
has a total area of 3,287,263 square kms and falls into three major geological
regions. The North is enclosed by the great arc of the Himalaya. Along their
Southern flank lie the alluvial plains of the Ganges, and to the South again is
the peninsula, separated by the 30 km wide shallows known as Adam's
Bridge. In contrast, the island chains of the Lakshadweep and the Minicoy off
the Western coast of India, and the Maldives to the South West and coral
atolls, formed on three submarine ridges under the Arabian Sea.
Population : More than 950 million (1997): 72% are in
the north, 25% in the south and 3% of islands and elsewhere. Density is 232
people per sq. Kilometer
Relegion : 80% of
Hindu Community, 11% Muslim, 2.5% Christian, 2% Sikh, 1.5% Buddhist, Jain and
Others.
On this diverse physical environment remains etched the evidence
of a succession of political powers, religions and cultures going back to
prehistoric settlements over 500,000 years ago. From cave paintings, such as
those at Bhimbetka to the grandiose triumphalism of British-built New Delhi,
every part of India has astonishing cultural arte facts which bear witness to
its range and depth of culture and historical experience. Sites from every
region all illustrate the flowering of those cultural traditions, whether in
remarkable temples - from Konark in the east to Palitana in the West, or
from Khajuraho in the north to Madurai in the south - or in the
development of rich traditions of music and dance or the abstraction of
philosophy. Superimposed on the cities of the north India are some of the
finest Muslim-inspired buildings in the world, including Agra's Taj
Mahal.
