India is a land where diversity makes its mark in every possible way. India’s geographies that define its physical existence are the major examples of this distinguishing trait. The country shows a beautiful coexistence of snow-clad trenches, warm sandy deserts, tropical beaches, lush green forests, all in one chunk of land. Nature tours are probably the best in India as they let you explore the different moods of the country. Whatever landscape one is looking for, India does not let him return disappointed.
Much of Indian architecture, including the Taj Mahal, other works of Indo-Islamic Mughal architecture, and South Indian architecture, blends ancient local traditions with imported styles. Vernacular architecture is also regional in its flavours. Vastu shastra, literally "science of construction" or "architecture" and ascribed to Mamuni Mayan, explores how the laws of nature affect human dwellings it employs precise geometry and directional alignments to reflect perceived cosmic constructs.As applied in Hindu temple architecture, it is influenced by the Shilpa Shastras, a series of foundational texts whose basic mythological form is the Vastu-Purusha mandala, a square that embodied the "absolute". The Taj Mahal, built in Agra between 1631 and 1648 by orders of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, has been described in the UNESCO World Heritage List as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage". Indo-Saracenic Revival architecture, developed by the British in the late 19th century, drew on Indo-Islamic architecture.
The Government of India (ISO: Bhārat Sarkār; often abbreviated as GoI), also known as the Union Government or Central Government but often simply as the Centre,[a] is the national authority of the Republic of India, a federal democracy located in South Asia, consisting of 28 union states and eight union territories. Under the Constitution, there are three primary branches of government: the legislative, the executive and the judiciary, whose powers are vested in a bicameral Parliament, Prime Minister, aided by a Council of Ministers, and the Supreme Court respectively, with a President as Head of State. Through judicial evolution, the Parliament has lost its sovereignty as its amendments to the Constitution are subject to judicial intervention. Judicial appointments are made with negligible say from the executive or legislature.
