India, in this light, then, is not contained in imagined boundaries on a paper. Nor can you draw straight lines across it and map out your experience here. Instead, you’ll find India in its 800 languages, 700 dresses, 600 festivals, and 1.39 billion people. We, here at People & Places, aim to get you in touch with all this and more so that you may experience India in its true form. Go beyond the Taj to discover the unique marble inlay industry around it. Do not satisfy with just the views of the desert, the jungle, the mountain, and the rivers. Seek to decipher the bonds which tie it all together. Taste the great street food of Mumbai, take a dip in the holy Ganges in Banares, watch the golden sunsets in Udaipur, explore the forts in Rajasthan, ride a camel in Jaisalmer, and slowly fall in love with India. For we recognize that the most beautiful things in life are just not things. They are people and places, memories, and pictures. They’re feeling and moments and smiles and laughter.
