| The culture of India is one of the oldest in the world..India has managed to preserve its culture and traditions throughout various eras of history and all the while absorbing customs, traditions and ideas from both invaders and immigrants. Many cultural practices, languages, customs and
dances are examples of this co-mingling over centuries.
A combination of these factors has
resulted into an exclusive culture- Indian culture. Indian
culture is a composite mixture of varying styles and
influences. Festivals in India are characterized by color,
gaiety, enthusiasm, prayers and rituals. In the realm of
music, there are varieties of folk, popular, pop, and
classical music. The classical tradition of music in India
includes the Carnatic and the Hindustani music. |
