India Experience

Photo Slider Tutorial by WOWSlider.com v1.7

Some four hundred years ago, India was the land of the fabulous and fantasy the Exotic East. Travellers returned with tales of marble palaces with gilded domes, of kings who were weighed in gold, of dusky queens dripping with pearls and rubies; of beautiful courtesans and snake charmers, of ascetics sitting on beds of nails, of reincarnation and magicians; of calcavades of elephants and shikar expeditions and the ferocious tigers. Of widows leaping into the pyre. It all seemed like a fabled tale narrative, spectacular, exciting and also bit unreal.

Now India is differently told. India is a supreme cultural experience. The ascetic is a guru who teaches calming of the inner being with yoga and meditation; the Indian classical dance has developed into a fine art as also the sitar, the tabla and many other musical instruments have brought their exponents worldwide fame and honours. The temples some with their erotic art, others as centres of peace, the tombs and palaces attract visitors from all over the world. Its principle religions Hinduism is looked at in earnest for its great depths of understanding. Buddhism has roots here. Even the elephants, tigers and lions are carefully preserved. The Moghuls may have become extinct, the Maharajahs and their maharanis assimilated into the modern life, the British Raj too gone and in place of the kingdoms and Raj now there is a robust and worlds largest democracy with its thriving institutions of Parliament, Judiciary, Administrative services, Scientific achievements, Technological attainments, its entertainment and fashion industries, its media, its cuisines and its citizens making a mark in international corporate boardrooms and even leading the worlds top companies.

Raymus takes pleasure in unfolding the great India story, with its ancient civilizations; with its sages and mythological epics, with its Moghuls, the Maharajahs, The British Raj and now the modern Emerging India taking its place as a Power house, spurring economic, technological and spiritual growth.

Raymus shall always be pleased to introduce to the traveler the wonders of the bygone era such as the fabulous Taj Mahal, the erotic Khajuraho temples, the Moghul and the British era and also the modern institutions and its technological institutions and centres.
