Answer:
Explanation:
1) Taj Mahal
The first thing you must mention on a “What is India known for?” list, is the Taj Mahal. It´s not only one of the 7 wonders in the world, but it´s also an incredible place that more than 8 million people visit every year.
The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in the city of Agra. Since 1983, it´s considered one of the UNESCO world heritage sites and it´s a symbol that represents the whole country of India.
2) Qutub Minar
This time we are going to the capital of India to find another UNESCO world heritage known as Qutub Minar.
The Qutub Minar of India is popular for being one of the highest minarets in the world, and the highest built by bricks. Although the Qutub Minar has been replaced many times through its history, the last version was made in 1369 and repaired a few times after that.
We got the chance to see it last year, and although it´s a little bit far from the center of Delhi, it was worth visiting it.
3) Ganges river
The Ganges river of India, also named “The Ganga” in Hindi, is known as the holy river of Hinduism. Surprisingly, the river´s length is only 2500km (1560 miles), which is way shorter than many other not so important rivers in Asia, so…why is it one of the most famous things in India?
The Ganges river goes all the way from the Himalayas’ Gangotri Glacier to the Bay of Bengal and it is used to drain one fourth of the territory of India.
Other than that, the Ganges River is famous for being a sacred river, and Hindus and Buddhists go there to purify themselves as they believe bathing in the river will forgive your sins. It´s something very impressive to see.
What is Indian food known for?
Since India is such a huge country, where you can find different climates, vegetation and ways of cooking, you will see a huge variation in their food from one place to another.
Next, we will tell you some interesting facts about Indian food that you will love to know before trying their dishes:
️ 4) Be careful! Indian food is spicy!
We are still not sure if Indian food is as spicy as the one in Indonesia, but we can guarantee you that you will still find many hot and spicy dishes in India
If you like spicy food you will love it, as they have many hot meals, even teas can be spicy in India! We recommend you trying the Phaal Curry, made with Bhut jolokia (Known for being the hottest chillies in the world)
On another hand, if you are not such a big fan…well, good luck! The good news are that they always compensate their plates, for example, if they are eating spicy, they mix it with sweet sauces to lower that intense flavour.
5) India is the vegetarian capital of the world
If you are trying to become vegetarian, we would advice you to travel to India and don´t eat any meat during your trip, we can almost guarantee you that you won´t miss it.
That´s at least what happened to us in Gujarat (The state with more vegetarian people in India), they have so many different foods that we didn´t have the need of eating meat.
Just so you can have an idea, it is said that more than 20% of India´s population are vegetarians
6) Indian spices
The spices are one of the most popular things in India. As soon as you arrive to the country and start walking through any of their markets, you will realise by the smell of the streets, why India is known for being the king of the spices
There are many of them that are native to the country, but others were imported and now are cultivated locally. Cardamom, black pepper, and cumin are some of the most common spices on Indian dishes.
What are Indians famous for?
Of course, if you are talking about “What is India best known for”, then you must mention their local people. As it happens with every single nationality, there are many stereotypes about Indian people, but that doesn´t mean we have to believe them.
During our trip to India, we got to meet many locals and they were very nice people, so let´s try to not judge anyone by the things we heard, without learning more about them.
7) Large population of India
for-what-india-is-famous
One thing no one can deny about Indian people is that there are many of them. India is the second most populated country in the world right after China, there are about 1.3 BILLION people in India, which is absolutely crazy.
Indians are generally proud of their government, as they understand it´s very difficult to govern over so many people.
Although it´s true that everywhere you go in big cities, you will be able to find huge crowds and queues for everything, it´s also true that the country is enormous and you can also see many empty natural areas with a very peaceful atmosphere area.
