India's compelling appeal derives from her rich history, her incredibly diverse population, and the staggering array of artistic achievements that are visible throughout the land. Covering the entire Indian subcontinent from the Himalayas in the north through the central plains to the tropical southern coastal states of Goa, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, with their wondrous beaches and temples, this beautiful book fully encapsulates the complete India experience.
