India has made a lot of yoga gurus who not only aim to give Indians a healthy lifestyle but also spread awareness of yoga in different countries. India also celebrates the International Day of Yoga across the world annually on June 21st. Yoga has a deep connection with Hinduism which gives an individual a better lifestyle a healthy body and a peaceful mind.

AYURVEDA

Ayurveda is an alternative medicine that has its historical roots in India. Ayurveda has discovered a lot of cures for different types of diseases and has enormous potential. From the point where modern-day medicine gives up, Ayurveda takes it up from there. Some of the examples of the treatments that are offered are they reduce stress and anxiety, boost the immune system, promote digestion, improve skin health, enhance brain function, support heart health, and improve sleep quality. The main reason not only modern-day science but also universities and health researchers are surprised by ayurvedic medicine is the side effects which are near zero.

Hospitality

When it comes to being nice and treating our guests Indians are the first choice. Indians have pure hearts when it comes to being hospitable, especially in the villages. People living in India go by the saying "Atithi devo bhava" which means the guest is God. Indians don't have a culture of kissing on the cheek or shaking hands when meeting people. Indian people greet each other and all strangers with folded hands and say Namaste which came into great limelight when the outburst of Covid 19. Countries are adopting the culture of saying Namaste from India. Even if you are a stranger to anyone if you go to anyone's house Indians will welcome you with warm-heartedness which is very rare to see anywhere else.

CULTURE

India is very famous for its culture where the whole world summarizes its culture into one or two religions. Indians have a very wide range of secularism which includes the most practised religions which are Hinduism (79.8%), Islam (14.2%) and Christianity (2.3%) Sikhs(1.72%), Jainism, Buddhism etc. India not only gives individuals fundamental rights to practise their religion but also allows them to be an equal part of India when compared to any other religion. India never tries to suppress any religion and all religions are given equal rights according to the Indian constitution.
