La India es una verdadera tentación para ir de compras, no sólo por la variedad y belleza de los artículos, sino por los irrisorios precios que tienen los productos. Cada estado, cada ciudad y cada localidad tienen sus productos caracteristicos, aunque en Delhi se pueden encontrar gran parte de ellos a precios, como minimo, igual de baratos. Entre los objetos tipicos del pais se encuentran la ropa de algodon, los pañuelos y los tejidos de seda, la bisuteria y las joyas, especialmente de plata, las estatuas y objetos religiosos del hinduismo o del budismo, los instrumentos y la musica india, asi como el incienso. Uno de los rasgos mas llamativos de la India es la religiosidad cotidiana, expresada por medio de numerosos ritos externos, especialmente coloridos en el caso del hinduismo. Abundan los templetes improvisados en negocios y tiendas, autobuses y rickshaws, o incluso en lugares oficiales, donde no faltan las flores y el incienso. Para los hindues es habitual la visita diaria al templo, igual que para los musulmanes lo es a la mezquita. Hombres y mujeres se tiznan la frente con kumkum en señal de sumision a lo divino.

Both a magnificent celebration and a call for compassion, "Himalaya" is a panorama of the unique history and uncertain future of the world''s highest region and its colorful inhabitants. The awesome beauty of these lofty peaks, including Everest, Kanchenjunga, and Annapurna, is brought to life by gifted photographers like Steve McCurry, Art Wolfe, and many more, while such notable contributors as Jimmy Carter, the Dalai Lama, Sir Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay, and over two dozen others share vivid personal tales of Himalayan life, recount their efforts to encourage hope and opportunity, and emphasize the urgent need to preserve the vibrant variety of these ancient landscapes and cultures as they face the mixed blessings of the modern world. The book begins by introducing the region: its astonishing biodiversity, its mountaineering history, its rich ethnic heritage, and the interplay between two major religions, Hinduism and Buddhism. "Himalaya" addresses challenges to these mountainous domains: political turmoil, population growth, touristic demands, and ecological stresses. Finally, a compelling conclusion comes in the stories of doctors, conservationists, environmentalists, and volunteers of every kind, whose efforts provide a global model for practical results and lasting relief, still respecting, honoring, and protecting the magic of a place unlike any other on Earth.
