Great Article, I wish I could visit there today! Unfortunately teleportation is not one of myu skills. Voted up.
I have always admired the beauty of India, and the wonderful ladies the way they dress with so much intricate wonder, and beauty. Indian women have such lovely, beautiful soft looking skin free of blemishes. Very beautiful culture. My doctors are from India, and Pakistan. They are such serious minded intelligent doctors. God Bless You. Great hub.
I visited the North of India...it was such a wonderful experience I'll never forget!...a journey of the soul.
I hope I'll be able to see more of India in the future.
India looks absolutely beautiful. I will put it on my bucket list.
I've been studying the history, culture, and places of India and it's quite fascinating and what the people had to go through centuries ago. Real nice hub! :)
This is amazing. I never realized that India was so beautiful.
I also liked very much that unique feeling of "sacredness" you can breathe there...it was many years ago that I went to India, but I hope it has been able to keep its big heart despite modernization and globalization...and that those special children's smiles are still the same...
Would love to visit India! These pictures are gorgeous!
