Travel to the country with a rich cultural, spiritual and artistic history -- India -- a vastly diverse nation with some of the most amazing sights you'll ever see.

In addition to the art, jewelry and fashion many appreciate and collect from India, cultural elements like spirituality, yoga, films and dance are also popular exports from foreigners. For some, food has become a favorite. Now mainstream grocery stores and restaurants are incorporating Indian foods and spices that were difficult to find a decade ago.

So, pack your imaginary backpack and trek through this world of color, spices and adventure in our slide show of images from the Golden Triangle -- Agra, Jaipur and Delhi -- to the South, where the financial capital of the nation, Mumbai, bustles with commerce and traffic every day. And, once you've traveled the country in photos, find out how much you know about it with our quiz.
