India; a land of beauty
India, the land of timeless splendor
Rich in history, each monument a wonder
Taj Mahal, Golden Temple all reside in here
Yamuna, Ganges; rivers flowing without fear
Thick forests with various wildlife all around
Lions, tigers, peacocks and birds with a musical sound
Festivals with excitement, preparation and beauty
Decoration, delicacies and prayer is your duty
With the contrasting fireworks of Diwali and assorted colors of Holi
Girls in pretty outfits, saris and lehanga choli
Early medicine practices, ayurveda centuries old
Yoga with asana and exercise, all it does unfold
Appetizing Indian food, a branch of paradise and joy
Roti and cooked vegetables, yum eat them all my boy
All the seasons we enjoy, each with a new taste
Summer, spring, autumn, winter and monsoon, none we let go waste
India, it created infinity and zero, and the first university
And chess, snakes and ladders, or other games of diversity
Sanskrit, its first language above all others
Vedas, Ramayana, Mahabharata, works taught by mother
Brahma, Guru Nanak, Muhammad Christ and Ram
Gods of different religions, they keep the world calm
Culture of the most contrast, dance forms there are a lot
Bharat Natyam, Kathak, Odissi, in each region they are taught
India, the terrain of physical geography of each type
Himalaya, Thar and Deccan Plateau; existing forever yet ripe
India full of masses of people of variation
Yet they come together united as a nation
