INCREDIBLE INDIA

“Unity in diversity”-the most commonly used quote to describe India. we are all familiar with the video “mile sur mera thumhara”-“let our melodies meet”, it endorses different people coming from all across the country to celebrate our uniqueness and diversity and to unite our country.

“Athithi devo bhava “-“guests are equal to gods” is a very staunch belief in India may be that is why we bring them into the elusive spotlight that is reserved only for the most important events in the country ,that spotlight which may not
