Unity in diversity 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 a 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, handcrafted artefacts, puppetry, and you have an incredible wonderland that is India.

India covers an area of 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 stretches southwards and at 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 Nicobar Islands is 7,516.6 kms.

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

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

are subject to alteration and confirmation.
