A visit to any city of India will give you an idea of the country’s religious diversity. Along with several leading Indian religions such as Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, numerous other world’s great faith like Christianity, Wahabism and Zoroastrianism co-exist and flourish. This is why India is a perfect example of Unity in Diversity. Each of these faith have their own festivals that are celebrated with music, dance and feasting. It has been said that there is a festival on every day of the year in India. This is not surprising considering the number of national, regional, local, religious, seasonal and social festivals and the innumerable gods and goddesses worshipped in India. Hindus celebrate Dussehra, Holi, Deepawali, etc while Muslims celebrate Eid and Christians celebrate Christmas and Good Friday, etc.

India’s diversity is also visible in its varieties of music, dance, painting, sculptures and architecture. India has absorbed the best of the invading cultures and intermingled with local traditions to create a new and unique customs and lifestyles. The designs of some of the countries’ leading monuments such as the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Jama Masjid, Red Fort, Qutab Minar and the Victoria Memorial along with several other forts, palaces, and tombs are a mix of different styles of architecture.

India is a travel haven offering something for every curious traveller beginning with the spiritual retreats of Pushkar and Haridwar. These sacred places are thronged by religious devouts who come for a holy dip to rid their sins under the guidance of mystical long-bearded gurus. Though most unlikely, spirituality combines with commercialisation at these spiritual resorts having streets lined with tiny stalls while pushy mendicants sit around waiting for a kind-hearted soul.
