I am an Indian.. but it made me tear up... great work NG...Nazar na Lage mere desh ko

[sambitmohanty]

Vermilion skies and indigo seas,
Whispers of amber, in the gentle breeze. Incredible India!

[riyajoisar]

Goosebumps, this is what India is about. Our culture and traditions unite people like no one can imagine

[vish]

That's why Hinduism is not religion but way of life every festival feel joy in hearts and stories which helps to tackle the things in another way

You can feel the entire planet in one nation. INDIA !!! I remember I was not feeling good on the day of HOLI. The moment my mother put rang on my forehead and cheeks, I felt jubiliant and playfool. Went out and played. It is one of the best feeling to be born as an Indian.

Whoever planned this for him deserves every bit of appreciation, as a brijwasi i can say he didn't missed a single celebration except the local ones and explained beautifully what holi is all about. But he should have tried some more dishes in here. But overall i felt its a great presentation from the team.
Jai Bharat..🙌🏻

It brought tears to my eyes. Yes m Indian but I have no idea the scale of this. I live my culture and I love you people. I love my India.

22:51 the scene gives me goosebumps. The music, flowers, sea of people waiting for Lord Krishna with utmost devotion.

Wow this was truly amazing! So vibrant and colorful. Love how Gary immersed himself in the celebrations. We are heading to India in 2 weeks. This has got us so excited for our trip 🎉

[devashishattri]

That's why I say I am a proud hindu, I don't need to convert anyone to my religion. I just want to say whatever religion you follow just come and enjoy the vibrancy, the culture, the warmth, the love of India....radhe radhe

[subhadramahanta]

Damn! Even most of Indians aren't aware of such intricacies. That's the Beauty of Bharat, the same festival at certain locations really turn into a Megafestival! For example, Ganesh Puja in Maharastra, Durga Puja in West Bengal, Chhath in Bihar, Rath Yatra in Odisha etc.

English sub-titles will be helpful. The milk vendor is saying it is Krishna's town so milk and curd hold great value ( Krishna was raised by cow herders). The vendor also said his father, grand father did this special job and he is continuing the tradition.

[ruchiramunjal]

Made me nostalgic. Holi in village then in banaras then in Pune and now in USA. Flavor keep changing and it’s get milder. Hopefully I would go back one day.

[Ashtadhatu.chem_]

cinematography team deserves oscar🏆they have managed to cover joy and devotion of the moment✌

[santoshiyer]

There can't be a better place on this planet than my motherland - Bharat❤

[MarathaRoyals]

India is the only country where the culture is so vibrant and buzzing with life. Also its the only country where feminine is revered and held holy. The west society in medieval ages killed the feminine worship and women with some Divine power were burnt alive by calling them witches and thats why the term Witch Hunt came into existence. So Proud. Jai Hind
