EXPLORING INDIA
Sand that glows under a golden sun, in deserts
and palm-lined beaches alike. Architecture as finely
detailed as the scrollwork on a bride's hennaed
hands. Bolts of shimmering fabric, ground spices and
pigments that fill colorful marketplaces, their richness
paralleled only by the history and cultural tradition of
this surreal, foreign and utterly captivating country.
Every experience seems larger than life in this vibrant
land that diversity built. In India, Buddha lived and
taught; rajahs ruled; architects dreamed in grand
excess; yoga was invented; tigers and elephants roam;
and life is celebrated unabashedly. Varied in faith,
cuisine, people and landscape, the only way to do this
destination of a lifetime justice is to visit all of it.
