For further information, visitors should seek official advice.
Mystical land of seductive images
It is Indias vastness that challenges the imagination: the sub-continent, 3200km (2000 miles) from the mountain vastness of the Himalayas in the north to the tropical lushness of Kerala in the south, is home to one sixth of the worlds population, a diverse culture and an intoxicatingly rich history.
The most frequently visited part of India is the Golden Triangle Delhi and the magnificent monuments of Agra and Jaipur, a legacy of centuries of Muslim rule but there is much besides. The unfairly maligned great cities of Mumbai and Kolkata (Calcutta) have a bustling, colourful charm, while the holy city of Varanasi or the awe-inspiring temples of Tamil Nadu are worthy objects of pilgrimage. For those who prefer more sybaritic pleasures, the palm-fringed beaches of Goa have a European charm all of their own.
Hinduism is practised by 85 per cent of Indians, the religious rites and red-letter days woven into the fabric of everyday life ritual washing in the Ganges and the ear-splitting celebrations of the festival of Ganesh and the inequalities of the caste system are there for all to see.
One of the fascinations of India is the juxtaposition of old and new; centuries of history from the pre-historic Indus civilisation to the British Raj rub shoulders with the computer age; and Bangalore's Silicon Valley is as much a part of the world's largest democracy as the remotest village is.

- Laugh Therapy
Whoever said laughter is the best medicine was taken very seriously. Laughter clubs have been curing stressed out Mumbai residents so successfully, they are springing up all over the world. - Chaturmukha Jain Temple
Ranakpur's beautiful white marble Jain temple is supported by 1444 carved pillars - and no two are the same. - Badhkal Lake
Badhkal Lake, south of Delhi, has long been a popular picnic spot and a place to seek respite from the city. The man-made lake in the Aravali Hills has now become something of a resort, with a swimming pool, sauna and boating facilities. - Vivekananda Museum
Chennai's Vivekananda Museum is housed in a building formerly known as the Ice House, which once stored massive ice blocks transported from North America. Later, Swami Vivekananda, one of the most famous and influential spiritual leaders of the Vedanta philosophy, used to preach from here, and the building now houses a collection of photographs and memorabilia from his inspiring spiritual life. - MGM Dizzee World
Tamil Nadu's famous amusement park is home to more than 60 rides and a private beach strip. It is made up of three parts: MGM Dizzee World, MGM Mary World and MGM Water World.
