Indian culture

*INDIAN CULTURE :*

Into the hulk of redemption of my country's dignity and pride ,

Several languages , religions and cultures sway the jocund faces in their stride.

Multilingual and aesthetic propinquity to divine forms of art and culture ,

Encapsulates the variance of an enriching journey to our national strength altogether.

Cradling the ancient languages to the contemporary,

Celebrating festivals and adorning the chariots of religious fervour.

Embossomed the vainglorious instincts into an essence of knowledge ,

The poets and the litterateurs blatantly express in several poems and stories.

The Indian culture is a boon to all the nationalities,

Where the mind is without fear to enjoy several dance forms ;

Bharatnatyam, Kuchipudi, Kathak, Odishi and Kathakali ignite innumerable emotions to bestow unity in diversity.

Foods are the authentic soul's rejuvinatuon,

From North to South one can indulge their appetite to a variety of verbe in taste and delight.

The Taj Mahal stands erect with a combination of Islamic, Persian , Ottoman , Turkish and Indian architectural styles,

Emperor Shah Jahan meticulously built it for his beloved wife ;

Mumtaz Mahal is remembered through his sanctimonious appeal in the astounding architecture renowned worldwide.

The nightangale eulogizes the richness of our culture in her poem BANGLE SELLERS,

Beautifying the embellishments of a woman;

Who embraces a baby in her strong breasts to comfort and admire.

During the harvest season in our country ,

When a few states celebrate festivities in a grand ardour ,

Cultural entities seem to glorify our country's jubilations to cheer.

Maestros all over the country share expertise on their musical extravaganza,

Santoor , Sitar, Beena, Tabla, Shehnai, flute , Jaltarangam and harmonium uplifts the pride and sensation with a cadenza.

Folk dances and tribal dances of several regions enthuse deep spirits to enchant,

The cultural meet in every sphere warmly welcomes the pride of our nation.

From Kashmir to Kerala and from Gujrat to West Bengal ,

Rabindrasangeet , Chakri , Carnatic music , garba, ghazals, sant bani , dangi and Tippani;

All are melliflous to the heart for its rich cultural history.

Diversity in traditions and traditional attires allure every Indian in a divine spirit ,

When the religions unite each Indian in a cultural coherence ;

It seems that the entire country is celebrating a sanctity which is euphoric and so pristine.

In quest for the origin of our culture in a resonance ,

It is essential to read each culture and tradition with a sacred feeling.

Cultural integrity binds all of us to the world,

No matter what the languages we speak it certainly echoes in several thirsty souls.
