Yoga: Our very own ancient system of mental and physical rejuvenation which is now practiced all over the world. Being the land of meditation, we have as many forms as there are gurus. It is unquestionably a system that helps both the body and the mind.

Rangoli: It is this traditional decorative folk art that remains alive on courtyards of many Indian homes, most often on auspicious days. Rangoli is practiced in many different states and enhances the beauty of the homes.

The Indian Sweets: Most of us Indians have a sweet tooth and love our jalebis, cashew burfi’s and rasgulla’s. Heavenly is the word! Every occasion in India is marked with the traditional Indian sweets.

Gulli Cricket: If cricket is a religion in India, it is practiced in the 'gullis' of India every waking moment. It is unarguably India's national pass time. Watching the gods perform on TV and fine tuning the art in the streets and corners of the length and breadth of our land, is how it works.

Malls: India's new favorite hangout is the malls. Every child, teen and couple find their way to the malls to kill some time and splurge some money.

Tiger: It is something that India was justly famous for in the years gone by. But unfortunately almost poached and neglected to extinction. Renewed efforts were launched to rescue this king of the jungle and our National Animal.
