Complex and Unique Food
India contains some of the most complex cuisines due to the mix of cultures and backgrounds in their history.
The use of spices and other herbs in the subcontinent has barely been seen by the world before, (hence the colonisation!).
There are various food items in India that you must try if you ever visit, like dosa (a south Indian thin, savoury crepe), idli (a fluffy, savory rice cake), or Barfi (a milk-based dessert bar).
If you have any Indian family hosting you, request them for a common Indian meal which they eat every day and you will be amazed at the choice of comfort foods on your table!
Glamorous World of Bollywood
Bollywood is one of the major aspects of Indian culture which defines their love for cinema and art. There are various famous Bollywood movies which are widely popular around the globe.
The love for Indian stars, like Shah Rukh Khan (also known as The King Khan of Indian cinema) knows no bounds of generation or age in their country and even abroad.
There are various Indian movies and series which are available on many OTT platforms that you can watch from anywhere, like Netflix in the Philippines, Hulu in India, etc.
Rich Culture
Indian culture is among the richest cultures in the world. The love they have for music, art, and spirituality is visible in every occasion in their lives.
No Indian event is complete without music and dance, as well as their religious ceremonies which involve hymns and songs about their gods and important historical figures.
Their dresses show a deep understanding of skill including embroidery and an interesting combination of colours to lighten up their functions.
Indian jewellery also holds a certain popularity in international markets, as they showcase their talent and creativity in terms of aesthetics in the fashion world.
Family Values
Indian culture stands firm on family values. Respecting adults and people who hold a higher authority than them, like masters, professors, etc. is a part of their traditional values to be together as a family.
Joint family systems are also encouraged, as well as being close to your neighbours in solidarity during festivals, grievances, and other occasions.
Although modern times in India have made moving out of the family and cohabitating with your partners more socially acceptable, it still prioritises being around your family for important matters.
Family values help a lot in making people feel supported and promote ethics in the family, which Indian people feel very strongly about.
Breathtaking Tourist Spots
Some amazingly photogenic spots in India have also become a tourist attraction in the present. The Taj Mahal is one of the world’s wonders, making it a place swarming with people all the time.
Other places in India make it a great honeymoon spot as well, like Goa, Andaman Islands, Ellora Caves, the Agra Fort, and much more.
These places have a rich history which intrigues anyone who visits there and goes back home with nothing but wonderful memories.
