When you hear about the country India,

When you hear about the country India, 

you think of one of the oldest cultures and traditions in the world isn't it? And yes that's true. It is the oldest culture.And this is based on the religion present in India.
India was one of the richest countries in the world during the reign of kings and Queens.It had temples made out of Gold.The fields of different spices and vegetables were really vast. And many years later, now it still is the world's biggest source of rice and vegetation. Sanskrit originated in India.The corpus of Sanskrit literature encompasses a rich tradition of poetry and drama as well as scientific, technical, philosophical and dharma texts. Sanskrit continues to be widely used as a ceremonial language in Hindu religious rituals and Buddhist practice in the forms of hymns and mantras.
India has 28 states and each state is different.Each state has their own language, dressing,food and more.Different coloured people and different religion people live
in India too.India has 18 languages and 1600 minor languages and dialects.Though the majority in India is Hinduism ,Islam is practised by around 13% of all Indians.The
country had over 23 million Christians, over 19 million Sikhs, about 8 million Buddhists and about 4 million Jains.And therefore different festivals too are celebrated
in India. And the best part is even though theres a mixture of different people, Indians still live together peacefully and celebrate festivals together.They even don't
care about what colour or religion you are.Bharatnatyam is the official dance of India .This dance is very popular in India. The musical instruments in India are very classical like the harmonium ,flute ,tabla etc.
