Hi friend, Welcome to India. India is a beautiful country.

By posting about a place I cannot do full justice to the beauty of a place. Come to India and visit the main tourist places to feel the beauty.

No other country in the world can be compared with India beacause of it's vast cultural heritage. A single monument like Ajanta - Ellora is equivalent to all the architectural beauty of a country like France, Germany or Egypt.
