This captivating book has been nearly a decade in the making. After returning from Spain in 1982, my life as a student quickly transformed into a quest for financial independence. Armed with a working knowledge of Spanish and a deep love for my homeland, I set out to unveil the myriad secrets of India to travelers from around the world.
India is a tapestry of cultures and traditions, with countless layers waiting to be explored. As I traveled and interacted with visitors, I realized that even a lifetime of study would barely scratch the surface of understanding this diverse land. Questions about its customs often reveal the wonders and contradictions that make India unique.
In this book, I draw on India’s rich tradition of storytelling to illuminate its historical traditions, religious customs, and societal structures. Through engaging narratives and vibrant images, I aim to answer some of the most common questions that intrigue travelers:
- Why are cows worshipped in India?
- What does the Taj Mahal symbolize in the context of love?
- Why is dying and being cremated on the Ghats at Varanasi considered a blessing?
- What is the significance of the erotic art found in the temples of Khajuraho?
This book serves as a guide to understanding the essence of India, inviting readers to delve deeper into its wonders. If curiosity persists, I encourage you to ask more questions—or look forward to my next book!
