The rich heritage of India, one of the oldest civilizations in the world, is a broad blend of religions, traditions and customs. The accent of Indian heritage is hidden in its folk treasure trove of art, architecture, classical dance, music, flora and fauna, and secular philosophy. Visiting a cultural heritage site is like walking through history and changing course with each dynasty that ruled Indian land. The skills of Indian handicrafts, a wealth of silk and cotton textiles, ethnic jewelry, all of which are left as a legacy of ancient times and have survived through the generations.
