Where the hotel is the center of the journey, you’ll want to make sure that you’re centered in the finest lodging available.  You’ll see that when planning your trip to India, five-star hotels are the way to see the country in style.  While there are many excellent choices for accommodations here, our hotels are selected for their ability to consistently meet our high standards as well as the highest standards in the industry.  They are chosen for their consistently excellent levels of service as well as design, so that you’ll be treated to splendid hospitality in style that is truly world class. You’ll be eating spectacular meals prepared by world-class chefs who are schooled in classical and contemporary cooking, as well as sleeping in gorgeous rooms that will leave you feeling rested and replenished.

India is truly spectacular, and is one of the most fascinating countries in the world.  It is one of the longest continually-inhabited centers on earth, and has complex and mystifying layers of history in every city.  There are hosts of attractions for the entire family in each place, as well as night life that is stimulating and intriguing.  India is really much too large, with many cultures and languages and traditions, to make any kinds of general statements, but there are attempts to speak of and to a single India.  In art, there are occasionally festivals that attempt to speak to the entire nation, but more often than not the national art exhibitions speak to a plurality and a diversity, without attempting to unify all the people.  It will be interesting, then, to see how experiments such as the Jashn Osianama will fare in the coming years.

Started by Osian’s, the Osianama is a continuation of the larger organization’s program to develop ways of showing art work of multiple disciplines in India.  They’ve been very successful since beginning in 2000, with 12 exhibitions and several organizational arms devoted to visual art, film, and publishing, among other ventures.  The Jashn Osianama attempts to show all the various media under one umbrella exhibition.  The idea is to present work that will appeal to all of India, drawing on the example of the Mahabharata, showing work that is simultaneously entertaining and intellectual, political and spiritual.  It’s an extremely ambitious project, and it’s happening in Delhi, and well worth investigating.
