India Traditions and Customs
The Holy Cow
The cow is sacred in India; and woe betide the driver who doesn't swerve into a field to avoid them.
Cows are not penned into fields here, and in the smaller towns and villages they wander wherever they like. It is even said that some people in India might like to come back as a cow in the next life. Now there's a thought.
Holy Cow - An Indian Adventure:
Feisty, outspoken Sarah Macdonald made a firm decision after backpacking through India in
her 20s: she would never return. India was a land of filth and desperation, and Sarah was
nearly free of it when, as she prepared to board her plane back to her Australian
homeland, a beggar read her palm and declared that she'd be back; the next time, for love.
Travel Writing - Holy Adventure:
An excerpt from the book 'Young Female, Traveling Alone', by Anne-Marie Manuela Pop.
Indian Festivals and Fairs
The Indian calendar is a long procession of festivals. If you can find yourself in the right place at the right time, you could fill your visit to India with a festival every other day.
