Part of the series 'Adventures Around the World'. Thara's nanijee has collected special objects from India throughout her life. Each week, Thara and Nanijee examine a different object and learn about India: its scorching deserts, sacred rivers and precious forests, its vibrant modern cities, ancient temples and snow-capped mountains. The content covers familiar ground, such as the Taj Mahal, Diwali and Bollywood, as well as many less well-known gems, like the sculptures in Chandigarh Rock Garden, the islands of India and the Bhimbetka cave paintings. Each fact is presented in a clear and concise manner, accompanied by bright, beautiful illustrations, while the discussion between Thara and her nanijee provides a friendly, accessible way into the information."
