Generally people consider everyone same if they belong to a single nation but the and explore differmword diversity is hugely respected and accepted in huge countries like India.
On my work tour to south's city Tamil Nadu, I wasn't able to roam around much due to time and work constrain but few shots just struck my camera and mind. How wonderful it is to witness completely different cultures and languages spoken in single country. I was happy to be there, the streets were full of generous people.
The peace in mind, beautiful gajra flower's fragrance spread all around and notices of busy water was what I experienced on my short 2 days of work. Being from North we are much more fluent in Hindi language. It wasn't much harder to understand Tamil language also people spoke English as well which was very convenient on language barrier point.
Many historic monuments are taken over by the private agencies over there which has it's own set of cons and pros.
Starting up with pros- A good maintenance is guaranteed as compared to the government private agencies will be more interested in their business and people gets attracted to visit such monuments only when they are maintained.
Coming towards the cons- The profit gathered by ticket etc are used by the private agencies.
Have you ever wondered to a different part of your country and explored their religions and beliefs.
