India - a federal state, consists of 28 states, six union territories and the capital district. The states of India have their own history and realities of the day, their own government and laws. Each Indian state is unique: one attracts businessmen, others - lovers of recreation at sea, the third - seekers of enlightenment and unity with the cosmos.
Goa
The smallest state of India - Goa - is the most popular among tourists. If the rest of India bears a notable imprint of British colonization, Goa, under the rule of the Portuguese, imbibed their traditions of unhurried enjoyment of earthly joys, a relaxed and positive outlook on life.
Kerala
The most prosperous and educated state of Kerala. In addition to the luxurious beaches and stunning imaginations of Kerala's landscapes - Indian Venice, the traveler is presented with the opportunity to see India from an unexpected side while traveling in boat-hotels along multi-kilometer canals. Here ayurveda arose and developed, the traditions of Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity are intermixed. (By the way, the ruling party in Kerala is a communist).
