Glimpses of India

India is so large, that even if you lived your entire life there, you won't be able to cover the entire width of the country.


The cultural diversity is amazing. Officially, India recognises 18 languages according to the 8th Schedule of the Constitution, but there are hundreds of unoffical languages and dialects. The food they eat, clothes they wear, the religious ceremonies and way they go around their everyday lives, vary from state to state and even within the state. Below I give you India as captured by my lens.
