India is a diverse country, with numerous famous places. One place that I love to mention is Bhakti Hindu Temple, which is in Kunda, Pratapgarh, India. It was founded by Jagadguru Kripalu Maharaj Ji in 2005. This temple is very famous for its beautiful scenery and artistry.

Golden temple is a famous religious place in India, which is located in the center of the Amritsar city. It is also known as Harmandir sahib. This building is made purely with gold and is surrounded by a beautiful pool of water. I visit there by road with my family because it is 150 km away from my city.

I have visited this place many times in my life, and enjoy the peaceful environment. 

Golden Temple is a very famous religious place situated in Amritsar, Punjab, India. This temple is also known as Darbar Sahib Gurudwara; people from different places visit Golden Temple to seek blessings. 

Today I will talk about the top five dishes which are very famous in my home of Surat, India: Dhokla, Khandvi, Thepla, Jalebi-Fafda, and Sev Tameta nu saak. These dishes are so delicious; I love them. I love to cook, so I always try to make different types of dishes at home. These are very easy to make and very spicy. In my hometown, there are various stalls available on the street where people go with their friends and families—you can also find these dishes here.

Although I was born and raised in Mumbai, India, my mother’s village, Ratnagiri, is famous for its many tourist attractions, which include beaches, forts, temples, and monuments. My mother was born in Ratnagiri and spent quite a bit of time living there. Once every three months, I travel to Ratnagiri. Aare Ware beach is one of the beaches that not many people know about—but those who do, adore this beach. 

The greatest festival in my home country of India is Onam, celebrated in Chingam (Malayalam month), between August and September. King Mahabali was a popular ruler who controlled Kerala during a time of peace and abundance. It is believed that Mahabali visits every year during Chingam. It is a 10-day festival, and each day has its unique meaning.

In Punjab, India, people love to eat different kinds of dishes according to their interest. There are a number of famous dishes which are related to our culture as well as tradition, including Chole Bhature, Dal Makhani, Sarson DA Saag with Makki Di Roti, Paratha, and Rice Pudding. All these dishes are my favorite, and whenever my family plans to go out for lunch or dinner, I order these dishes because they’re quite delicious. 

I am from Kotli Ablu, which is situated in the Muktsar district in Punjab. India is a diverse country with a variety of customs and tradition, languages, and religion. Today, I will share with you our traditional clothing. This traditional Punjabi suit is called Salwar, Kameez, and a Dupatta. Each piece of cloth plays a crucial role in my culture.
