The Beautiful... India
Cities and Landforms
One of India's most popular cities is Bollywood. Not a knock off from Hollywood, just as good!! The "B" in Bollywood comes from the Indian city Bombay. One of the attracting landforms is the Thar Desert. One of the largest deserts in the world. Another is the Himalayan Mountains just on the northern boundary of India. Some mountains with foot hills that are within the country.
Economy
India has a MAJOR movie industry located in Bollywood. Most movies that are made in Bollywood are Hindu. Bollywood is slowly and steadily rising to the top, it has made it's way to the National Awards. Just overall, a very popular movie industry in India. India also has a very open market. It is the seventh largest in the world by nominal GDP. India has the fastest growing services. The growth is major because the population is young. Much like
Africa.
Kanha National Park
The Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh came into being in 1955 and forms the core of the Kanha Tiger Reserve, created in 1974 under Project Tiger. The park's meaning is to save animals from extinction, mostly contains tigers though.
Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal is an ivory white building just on the Yamuna River. Ustad Ahmad Lahauri was the architect. This attraction has had seven to eight million visitors. This is located obviously in the Asian - Pacific region, and only cost about 32 million to build. This is actually a tomb that holds Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal.
Kerala Backwaters
The Kerala Backwaters are a chain of brackish lagoons. This network includes five different large lakes, canals, rivers, and inlets or outlets. It is unique because it meets fresh water then salt from the Arabian Sea. Most of the time in pictures you will see people riding in long house boats along the rivers or lakes. Over all in the midst of the landscape there are cities and towns over flowing with people.
