India is a country rich in fabulous history. Kings and kingdoms, mystics and followers, rebels and fighters, lovers and scandals have traversed the paths of its glorious past.Stories and legends bind her people and have shaped her culture and beliefs.

In 1947 the territories of her princely states were politically integrated into the modern India we know today. Contemporary India represents a vibrant population consisting of thousands of ethnic groups, languages and regional dialects. Her people are shaped by regional history, geographic position and religious divides. What unequivocally binds them together is a love for family, music, food, art and an enthralling uninhibited use of colour. Colours sings under her extreme sunlight, blistering heat, torrential monsoon rains to create a vivid sensory experience like no other.

"With colour one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft."Henri Matisse.
