A to Z Blogging Challenge 2015: I is for Indian

I don't understand the words, but the video is beautiful and the song is enchanting. I love Indian music. For me it invokes emotion and thoughts of spiritual exploration. I wish I could say I understood more about the culture and the songs.

This particular style of music is called Marathi. It comes from the Indian state of Maharashtra. Here is a page from an informational website, which will explain more about the people of this region and about their music.

I learned a bit about Indian culture when I took a World Religions class to work towards the degree that I may one day have. I can't claim any kind of expertise. India is a fascinating and diverse country. The Indian bloggers I have encountered are creative and intelligent. I also love Indian food. 

I don't think a lifetime would be long enough to learn all there is to know about India. So I hope I get more than one lifetime to continue my studies!
