India is a vast country bordered by the mighty Himalayas to the north and by the Eastern and Western Ghats to the south. In this book I travel to various regions sandwiched between these impressive mountain ranges. Here people are distinguished by religion, their appearance, the clothes they wear, and a host of other markers. It makes for a fascinating diversity of local cultures. This book is a feast for those interested in the sub-continent, and who may also be thinking of visiting India. It is a comprehensive introduction portrayed in over two hundred original photographs.
