More about India. This area in India is also called the Deccan Plateau and is considered to be part of the Gondwana land which broke up into different pieces millions of years ago. It consisted of India, South Africa, South America, Australia and Antarctica to name a few. During the course of research it was found that the kind of soil in Brazil, Madagascar and parts of India had the same features.

The Deccan plateau stretches from the coastline of Gujarat State passes and reaches the Chotta Nagpur plateau in the east of India. Humans have inhabited the island since ancient times. After breaking away it floated and came and crashed with the Asian continent to form the mighty Himalayas. They are also called as the young fold mountains and stretch form the east of Iran and the range passes India, reaches and slopes down as it reaches the northeast near state of Arunachal Pradesh. The soil of the Deccan is the soil of the ancient Gondwana land which used to exist. The structure of the area is rocky and has many mountains having big stones and boulders on the top forming unique structures.

One more interesting thing is that there was tethys sea which used to exist and it disappeared and merged on top of the Himalayas as the mountain ranges were being formed. Studies have told that the subcontinent of India has gone back and forth from Antarctica to Asia and back many times before where it is found today. The soil which was tested in the Himalayan ranges is also similar to the one found in Antarctica when soil testing was done by experts to check about the same. Many interesting details have yet to come out and the world will come to know  during the course of time.

Thus India is an very ancient land which many different cultures, societies, kingdoms, forest tribes, people and culture. A place worth exploring for anyone who would like to know more about the world and how it was formed and study the temples and historical structures which exist even till date and are a craze among every tourist visiting India.

If one visits the 29 states and the 7 union territories one can find a global imprint and a civilization which is not only ancient but evolved, spiritually and in a culture way there are cultures within cultures having a vast variety of languages and dialects. Some of the ancient languages have gone missing and some have adjusted to the changing times and have kept themselves updated. A more fascinating thing is the interesting secrets and the wealth which kings of the ancient times used to have. A case to study is the Padmanabhaswami temple in south India.

One more interesting temple which came to my notice and where devotees pray with bundles of notes being kept in the temple on a particular festival. Last year it was 100 crores. The reason behind this is the belief that if they offer money or money’s worth at the feet of God and take collect it later the whole year will see lots of inflow of cash which can help one get rid of materialistic necessities of the day to day life.
