Why is India so magnetic?
India is a land of various sects and faiths- a precise and befitting
example of incredible unity in staggering diversity. Each of the cities
showcases a different picture of the country, thereby retaining its own
charms and lures. The modern-day sophistication has in no way affected the
old world charm of the place. On the contrary, at some of the places, these
two features have beautifully combined to put forth a new form of lifestyle.
Extra care has always been taken to preserve the age-old culture and
traditions of the cities, attracting innumerable tourists and travellers
from all across the globe.
Which are the important cities?
A visit to the northern Indian city of Agra conjures up in mind various
images from the Mughal era. It seems as if every corner is pulsating with
something unique and has got something to say. Think of Lucknow and the
cultivated and refined manners of the people are sure to amaze. Times have
of course changed, but the centuries-old tradition still lives. Jaipur,
Jaisalmer and Jodhpur are sure to take each and everyone by storm on account
of their rural charm. The south Indian cities of Chennai, Kochi and Madurai
are known far and wide for their towering temples. Hyderabad, the capital of
Andhra Pradesh is popular for its monuments, lakes, gardens and museums.
'Hyderabadi Cuisine' is no less delectable. The city of Gwalior in Central
India is home to one of the most formidable forts of the country- the
Gwalior Fort. Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh is internationally renowned for the
exquisite Khajuraho Group of Temples- an eternal gift of sensual love to the
world.
