India is a spiritual country with a rich history dating back thousands of years and a population that has already surpassed 1.4 billion people. There will be a new surprise around every corner as one walks down the streets of Mumbai, Jaipur, Agra, New Delhi, Kerala, or Varanasi. India has something for everyone, whether it’s one of the world’s most iconic landmarks, ‘blood rain,’ a floating lake, or one of its 2,000,000+ Hindu temples. There isn’t enough time in the world to visit them all, but let’s have a look at some of the weird, pricey, and oddly bizarre things India has to offer.

Shankar claims that the mask is very thin and has extremely small pores, allowing him to breathe comfortably while wearing his personalized mask in public.
