Cultures of India

Culture & Heritage varies like its vast geography. About 17 officially accepted different languages with 100 of dialects, all the major religions, different life style, food habits, social activities, round the year fairs & festivals modern India is an unique bag of diversed culture and heritage amazingly bunched as  “a mixed identity”, an expression totally definable as “distinctly Indian”.  Modern india is the reflection of its glorious ancient past, varied culture, and a great legacy of its heritage over the past centuries, wonderfully blended into a wonder nation, that the entire globe has been exploring over past so many centuries, but still it seems to remain “unexplored”.  That’s the beauty of the mystic land.
