their respective culture and tradition and later mixing with the

have enriched the values and faiths of the Indians even further with
each sun rise and sun set in the sky. The host country welcomed this
huge change with open arms as a result of which the flavour of
Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Jainism and Christianity floats in the
atmosphere of India making it one of the largest secular country of
the world where Diwali, Christmas, Eid and Buddha Jayanti are
celebrated with equal enthusiasm and exuberance.

every corner of this multi facet country, India. The splendid

heritage monuments narrate the immense skill of the craftsmen of the
yore which have been fascinating the world for many centuries. If you
