Arts and Culture
India showcases a wide range of scenery, from one point to the other. It is
perhaps the singular country which seems to exist in several eras and
periods at the same time. It's a country that has unified its wonderful past
with its modern-day advancements. And it is interesting to note that the
elements of the classic and the contemporary have still retained their
distinctive charm, proving a big draw for tourists and travellers from the
world over.
Aptly termed as a subcontinent, India is an eclectic mix of various
religions and languages. The diversity, that at the same time exemplifies a
stunning unity, is a magnet for tourists. There are abundant sights and
sounds to experience and soak up.
Expression of Artistic Capabilities

India
sets forth a variety of art form to make the world aware of her sentiments
and thoughts. The manifestation of India art can be noticed in the form of
architecture, literature, painting, craft, music, dance and other
performances. The skills and crafts have been improved and handed down
generation after generation. A lot of credit goes to the ruling elite as
well. The kings and maharajas of yore supported the art forms hugely and
that's why ancient artistic capabilities are able to breathe even today.
The foreign invaders including the Persians, Romans, Arabs, Europeans and
the Mughals had a great impact on the genesis and development of varied art
forms. The invaders brought with them numerous traditions that did
assimilate with the existing art forms. Consequently, newer varieties of art
and craft came into being.
Indian Culture Reaching Out to the World
Even in this fiercely competitive age of science and technology, India
continues to be a global destination in terms of arts and culture. The
country has in practice myriad customs and languages to make the world aware
of its culture. Every part of India - north, south, west and east - lures a
tourists due to its distinctive identity. Inspite of all this diversity, the
country seems to be at its harmonious best and this happens due to its
common history.
In a nutshell, India can well be put in the words of Mark
Twain :
'' India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech,
the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother
of tradition. Our most valuable and most astrictive materials in the history
of man are treasured up in India only! ''
Whether you talk of stunning architecture, worthy literature, impressive
sculptures, exuberant fairs and festivals, fascinating paintings or ancient
forms of dance and music, India always has a reason to invite you all to its
world of art and culture.
