If one had to describe India in just one word, it would have to be Cornucopia – a cornucopia of people, traditions, culture, climate and even topography. It is referred to as the largest democracy in the world, by virtue of the fact that it has the largest electing population among democratic countries. The echo of her heroes and her freedom fighters is felt not just in India but also all over the world. It is the land of “Ahimsa” the land of Mahatma Gandhi. India occupies its own niche in the world. The Himalayas surround it from the north acting as a wall on one side, the Thar Desert acts as a barrier towards the northwest and the rest is surrounded by the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. We at TIME welcome you to experience the arid grandeur of Rajasthani kingdoms to the exquisite serenity of Kerala – each shines with its own uniqueness.

'Dabba'
project to give tourists taste of Indian cuisine
The flavour of India captured through its food is the next big idea in
tourism, with the local Indian 'dabba' going glam, under a project
that seeks to showcase the variety in the country's cuisine as well as
attract tourists.
The "Incredible Tiffin" project by the Cuisine India Society launched
here recently provides a tiffin packaged with local food for people
outside the country, to help them get an idea of the choices of food
available in India.
The project is part of the Tourism Ministry's popular "Incredible
India" campaign that was launched initially to attract more foreign
tourists and has now successfully established India as a high-end
tourist destination.
"Food has much more pleasure, joy and happiness attached to it rather
than any other art form. Indian cuisine reflects spirit of India. When
we have such wide varieties of exquisite cuisines to offer then why
not let our tourists nurture a life long passion for Indian food,"
says Anil Rajput, Senior Vice President, ITC Maurya which hosted the
project launch inaugurated by Tourism Minster, Subodh Kant Sahay.
