INDIA: THE TREASURE TROVE OF ARTS AND CULTURE

Having lived in Chennai(Tamil Nadu), a minor portion of the great Indian peninsula, for all my life, I have discovered that India, happens to be the only place in the whole world with an intricate amalgamation of people, languages, food and religion. India, is one of the top ranked countries for it's present and steadily growing population. It happens to be the richest place, in terms of the different cultures and arts that are and have been a major part of what defines this magnificent country. The different cultures of India, include ideas, customs we follow, arts, handicrafts, religions, food habits, fairs, festivals, music and dance, for the most part. Different cultures are followed in different parts of India, based on who the people in the respective regions are what their teachings have raised them to be. However, irrespective of the region, a particular art form or culture is respected all around the country.


Each culture has its own art form and tradition which the people follow according to their own will. Religion, is also one aspect that is found in variety in different areas across India. People, have different social beliefs and thoughts which often happen to be the root cause of conflicts, but in the end, it is a nation that stands strong between the three oceans when the people stay united and together. Being a treasure trove, quite literally before the British colonialization, and also now, with the arts and cultures continuing to survive strongly, India is one of the most attractive and mesmerising tourist spots all over the world.
