INDIA - There is a ring in the name of India. The sounds of bells, conch shells, religious chanting, put you on a transcendental high. The roar of the tiger, song of the nightingale, and dance of the peacock are part of truly mesmerizing ambience. The humming of industrial activity and futuristic development reveal a buoyant economy. Add to this the call of vibrant and colorful costumes, decorations, festivities, lilting music, folklore renditions, hand-crafted artifacts, puppetry, and you have an incredible wonderland that is India.

India covers an area od 32,87,263 sq km, extending from the snow-covered Himalayan heights to the tropical rain forests of the south. Bounded by the Great Himalayas in the north, it stretched southwards and the at the the Tropic of Cancer, tapers off into the Indian Ocean between the Bay of Bengal on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west. The total length of coastline of the mainland, Lakshadweep Islands and the Andaman and Nicobal Islands is 7,516.6 kms.

Its geographical features give it a sesonal quality quite different from what one may have witnessed anywhere else. In fact the monsoons, or the rainy seasons, summer and winter are one of a kind.

Visit India and feel its symphony in diversity; strike the right chords for a perfect sojourn.
