Introduction
India is a very rich country in culture because it comes from different countries and languages. The population in India is a very huge number and it’s around one billion.
Delhi is the capital of India and that is divided into two parts: the old city is Delhi and the modern city of New Delhi is the third largest city in India, after Calcutta and Mumbai.
Indian Flag
The India flag has three horizontal stripes in orange, white, green and there is a dark blue wheel in the middle of the flag. Each part of the flag has a special meaning. In addition, included in the wheel in the middle of the flag is an old Buddhist symbol.
Religions
Religions play an important part for Indian people. There are many religions there, such as, Hindus, Muslims, Christians and others.
This chart shows the number of people for each religion. Furthermore, Hinduism is the highest religion in Indian and there are more than 800,000,000 people who are following that religion in India.
Tourist places
India is a huge country, and there are so many places to visit and a fantastic sights to see like:
- Red Fort
The Red Fort in Delhi was built by Shah Jahan in 1638. It has huge, red sandstone walls. Also, it has a beautiful a sound and light show in the evening.
- Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan in memory of his wife. He wanted it to be the most wonderful building in the world. It took 20 years to build that with thousands of workers.
- Golden Temple
The Golden Temple in Amritsar, is for the Sikh religion. The temple has been broken and rebuilt many times. The Golden Temple is surrounded by the lake. So it shines like a gold sun in the lake.
There are hundreds of festivals and holidays in India. That is because it has many religions and each one has his own celebration and holiday. There is also a national holiday on 26 January for all people in India.
In addition, it has many celebrations for each religion. For example: Ramadan is the most important festival for Muslims and that happens every year. It is only one month fasting without eating and drinking.
Also, Holi is the Hindu festival that marks the beginning of spring in March or April.
In my conclusion, I think India will become a famous country among the biggest countries in the world in a few years. Indian people work so hard, never stopping, just like a river.
