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.

- Chaturmukha Jain Temple
Ranakpur's beautiful white marble Jain temple is supported by 1444 carved pillars - and no two are the same. - San Thome Cathedral
San Thome derives its name from St Thomas, the apostle of Christ who is believed to have come to Madras in 52 AD. Some say he was killed on St Thomas Mount just outside the city in 78 AD, and his remains are apparently housed in the cathedral today. - Taj Mahal
India's "poem in stone", in Agra, is deserving of every wondrous adjective ever invented and is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. - 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. - Where Buddha became Buddha
At sometime during the 6th or 7th Century, Prince Gautama Siddhartha was born into a noble family in a forest grove of what is today called Lumbini in the hilly region of north-eastern India and Nepal.
