Presently the union republic of India comprises of 29 states and 6 union territories span the length and breadth of the Country, marked by diversity in culture and geography but bound together by a common chord of Nationalism.

It has been said that the states of India are more diverse than the countries in Europe. From the largest to the smallest, each has a unique history and culture, dress, festivals and way of celebrating them. Each state is unique in its own way and worth visiting.
