Culture plays an important role in the development of any nation. It represents a set of shared attitudes, values, goals and practices. Culture and creativity manifest themselves in almost all economic, social and other activities. A country as diverse as India is symbolized by the plurality of its culture.  India has one of the world’s largest collections of songs, music, dance, theatre, folk traditions, performing arts, rites and rituals, paintings and writings.

India is the second most populous country in the world with dozens of religions, languages, and ethnic groups that help shape the incredibly diverse culture of India. In fact, India’s cultural history spans more than 4,500 years! In the country of the Ganges River and the majestic Himalayan Mountains, travelers can discover a mix of traditional sarees and modern suits, learn Yoga, and visit food carts with fried vegetables and fish lining the streets.  Often called the 'melting pot of culture', it has to be seen to be believed.
