DESCRIPTION
In India, there live people of many religions. Secularism ties these multi-religious people together in the threat of unity. However, the dominant community living here is Hindu but it provides a safe, secure and prosperous land for every community. Diwali, Holi, Navaratri, Dussehra, Rakshabandhan and Pongal belong to Hindus; Eid is of Muslims while Christmas is celebrated by Christians but everyone participates in them with zeal and zest together. This is why incredible India tour is a temptation to which travellers and tourists from across the world desire to explore. Each fest penetrates bliss and joy in our life and invokes the feeling of togetherness as well as care.\n - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
