India is a land of great diversity and variety in race, religion, culture, and food; music is no exception. The folk
songs, the religious bhajans, the film songs, and the various classical forms of music are enjoyed by everyone, regardless of status or education, because music is one of the things that brings harmony to a country of such
vastness and such differences. Whether you want to experience the pleasant lilt of a morning raga or the boldness of a fantastical movie song or, perhaps, the sultry voices of ivory-bangled Rajasthani women, join us in exploring the rich rhythms of India; it will be music to your ears.
