The Discovery of
INDIA

An exploration of the World

THE STORY OF INDIA...

The story of India is no accident. It has been in the making for many billion years with the tectonic shifts creating a land of plenty, the epic called India is etched in stone, on the rare heights of Himalayas, forcing the clouds empty, the water pulverizing them, feeding the great fertile planes of North. The ancient mountains down south create a tropical paradise all its own. Jamboodweepa, its ancient name, revealing at once the attraction it held for the entire world.

India thus becomes the epicentre of history. Travel with us to explore the land and its lore as we take you through the tale of India through its terrains crossing boundaries to fascinating World Travel. 

The Terrain
dictates its tales
 

The story of India is written as much by the snow peaks of the Himalayas, sprawling Gangetic plains, sand dunes of Thar, serene stretches of sea coasts engulfing the southern plateau of Deccan, with the isles courting the mainland but never truly consummating the union. Although a cultural undercurrent exists, uniting the entire sub-continent, its expression is myriad as the stars in the sky. Explore the mystical land of India through the kaleidoscope of its cartography with the consequent chronicle of each region revealing its interconnection with the world at large.

Jamboodweepa
 the land surrounded by seas


 

The ancient Indian name is revealing of India’s maritime comfort and prowess. With an unbroken coastline of thousands of miles, India took to the seas aeons ago. As with the high passes of Himalayas, so do the high seas provide a gateway, transforming India and the world at large. Ramayana and Mahabharata Indian epics written in 2nd and 4the century bc, spread to Laos, Cambodia and beyond on the battleships of Cholas. Christianities ripples and waves hit our shores from the appeals of Apostles to Colonial cul-de-sac. Coffee came sailing on the back of Islam to the mountains of Budan Giri. Buddhism percolated into the world scaling the mountains and sailing the seas as far away as Japan and Korea.

The Thar Desert
Parched of Water, Gushing with Life
 

An ocean of sand, encapsulated by cradles of civilization on either side, Indus and Ganges, Thar was never meant to be a featureless desert. A proud and colourful people, hopelessly romantic in the face of adversities made their home here, forever changing the landscape. Forts, Palaces and Havelis mushrooming everywhere with innumerable man-made oases proclaiming stories of sacrifice and vision, creating a silent revolution in water conservation, the world can learn from today. Lying on the Indian Silk Road, prosperity filled the lands incepting a rich culture proliferated by art and handicrafts, unmatched the world over.
