Southern India is a diverse area that encompasses both bustling cities and beautiful beaches. Agriculture is the most dominant source of income, giving light and color to the lush vegetation. Markets are full of seasonal fruits and vegetables as well as fresh flowers. The smell of spices tickle the nose. People are friendly, eager to help, and speak English. Hindu is the prevailing religion and I would recommend to visit a temple and make an offering so Ganesha, the God of good luck, embraces you. Ganesha's brother, Murugan, will bless you with successful business. The Silicon Valley of India is also located in the south.
