ndia or Bharat is the Destination of the Millennium, a Land of all Seasons where beauty beckons, culture echoes, diversity delights and tradition talks.Those who reach India are greeted with a gracious Namasthe, Namaskaaram, Vanakkam or SatSriAkal denoting warmth, hospitality and respect – a tradition in tune with the country's age-old motto "Athidhi Devo Bhava" where the guest is treated as God.THE name 'India' is derived from the River Indus, the valleys around which were the home of the early settlers. The Aryan worshippers referred to the river Indus as the Sindhu. The Persian invaders converted it into Hindu. The name 'Hindustan' combines Sindhu and Hindu and thus refers to the land of the Hindus. The four religions born in India – Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, are followed by 25% of the world's population.
