What to say about the contribution made by India in the wonders of the world…US President Bill Clinton too couldn’t resist the enticement to bask in the glory of globally acclaimed Taj Mahal. India is known for its excellent cuisine, it's unique regions of cooking, and a pleasant dining experience. India is distinguished in the world's cuisine for it vegetarian dishes. One thing all of the regional cuisines of India have in common is it's use of spices. It's a land of myriad cultures, staunchly rooted in tradition, the habitat of millions of people belonging to varying religions and the country known for its distinguished history…India is a place worth visiting in the Asian continent.
