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.

- 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. - 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. - Kala Ghoda
Kala Ghoda, between Fort and Colaba, is Mumbai's increasingly trendy arts district, home to the city's modern art museum, several art galleries, heritage buildings and the Prince of Wales Museum. It comes alive in February, when it hosts a festival with open-air music, dance performances, concerts, plays, art displays, food stalls and a craft fair. - Gateway of India
Mumbai's most famous monument, the Gateway of India is the starting point for most tourists who want to explore the city. It was built as a triumphal arch to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary, complete with four turrets and intricate latticework carved into the yellow basalt stone. - 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.
