In the world, there are some parts that, once visited, get into your heart and won't go. For me, my motherland India is such a place. Initially, when I started traveled to, I was shocked by the lavishness of the land, by its rich magnificence and exotic architecture, by its ability to gratify the senses with the pure, concentrated power of its hues, spirit, tastes, and sounds. That is why it has been called a unique country of the world. Overwhelmed with the excellence and culture of India, thousands of tourists come India every year to tour.
Celebrating festivals, along with moral values, is of little importance in today's tense environment. In India, there is something to celebrate every single day, so people have festivals for 365 days in a year. Either you are from any religion; the rituals of celebration of festivals brought you to spiritual level. You will enjoy the unique celebrations of Diwali the festival of light, Holi of Mathura, Ganesh Chaturthi of Maharashtra, Durga Puja of Kolkata, Baisakhi of Punjab, Dussehra of Mysore, Onam of Kerala and of course Christmas and New year of Goa to the fullest.
The unique Architecture is perhaps India's greatest glory which is rooted in its history, culture and religion. Among many of the India's architecture the feature are the temples, viharas, chaityas, stupas and many other religious structures. India's dynastic history has made it a meeting place of the Hindu, Muslim, Jaina and Christian architectural traditions. All the discoveries of India like Ajanta-Ellora caves, Konark temple, Taj-Mahal, Jodhpur fort, Salim Singh Haveli, Veerabhadra (Hanging pillar) Temple etc. are pointing to the existence of an advanced civilization in pre-historic India.
India serves as home to many deserts like Thar Desert of Rajasthan, White Salt Desert of Kutch, The Deccan Thorn Scrub Forests of Tamil Nadu, Spiti Valley Cold Desert of Himachal and a coldest desert of India, Ladakh. Among all, the Thar Desert is world's eighteenth largest desert and the biggest desert in India. It is spread across 4 states in India, with a majority of the area lying in Rajasthan. To enjoy the Arabian night life and some quality time beneath the moon and stars, Jaisalmer in Rajasthan is the best place to experience. The main attraction here is the camping in Sand Dunes and Sonar Fort which is visible from every corner of the city.

12) To Know The Real India
India is a country that everyone should visit once in their lives to get out of their comfort zones, to broaden their thinking and to get a different perspective on life.
