Tamil Nadu

Thousands of temples with lofty towers dot the skyline of the southernmost state of Tamilnadu in India. These temples are torchbearers of the glorious heritage of the Tamil speaking region, and are repositories of the magnificient art forms that evolved over several centuries. 

Rajasthan

Rajasthan is one of the most interesting and most visited states in India. Rajasthan means “Land of the Kings.” It is the home of the Rajputs, the warrior class who were famous for fighting to the death against all odds.

Punjab

Before Partition in 1947, the Punjab used to cover part of Pakistan and present-day Punjab, with Lahore as the capital. Lahore is now the capital of the Punjab state in Pakistan. The main city in the Punjab is Amritsar, the holy city of the Sikhs. The main reason why most people come to Punjab is to see the Golden Temple in Amritsar. I have yet to meet anyone who did not enjoy their trip there.

Orissa

The landscape of Orissa is dotted with a large number of temples. The temples of Orissa conform to the Indo Aryan Nagara style of architecture, with distinctive features specific to this region. The best known of these are the Lingaraja temple at Bhubaneshwar, Jagannath Temple at Puri and the Sun Temple at Konark.

Northeast states

This least visited part of India is one of the most beautiful areas you will find in India. The seven northeastern states are connected by only a narrow strip of land to the rest of India. The hilly area is mainly populated by tribal people, who have a vastly different culture than the rest of India.

Madhya Pradesh

The most popular tourist site in the state is the temples at Khajuraho in the isolated north. Madhya Pradesh has the largest tiger population in India, and Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Park are the best places to visit if you wish to see them. Jabalpur, known for its marble rocks, is in the center of the state. There are ten-thousand-year-old cave paintings in Bhimbetka, south of Bhopal.

Kerala

The Southern State of Kerala has much to offer in terms of its hoary temple tradition. Kerala temple architecture is unique, and it is in harmony with the natural resources and the climatic conditions of the region. Elephants are an integral part of several of the festivities. A colorful calendar of festivals and strict worship protocols are associated with the hundreds of temples that line the landscape of Kerala.
