This work takes you on a sumptuous photographic tour of India, region by region: from the high mountains of the Himalayas in the north to the sandy beaches of Goa and Kerala in the south; from the dusty desert of Rajasthan to the teeming Ganges delta, this book celebrates a fascinating and beautiful country. India is a crowded, vibrant country - about a fifth of the world's population lives there. It is also a spiritual land, giving birth to two of the world's great religions: Hindiusm and Buddhism. It also boasts a booming modern economy alongside its heritage sites and historic buildings.
