Each family of this cuisine is characterized by a wide assortment of dishes and cooking techniques. Though a significant portion of Indian food is vegetarian, many traditional Indian dishes also include chicken, goat, lamb, fish, and other meats. Food is an important part of Indian culture, playing a role in everyday life as well as in festivals. Indian cuisine varies from region to region, reflecting the varied demographics of the ethnically diverse subcontinent. Generally, Indian cuisine can be split into five categories: North, South, East,West Indian and North-eastern India. Despite this diversity, some unifying threads emerge. Varied uses of spices are an integral part of food preparation, and are used to enhance the flavor of a dish and create unique flavors and aromas. Cuisine across India has also been influenced by various cultural groups that entered India throughout history, such as the Persians, Mughals, and European colonists. Though the tandoor originated in Central Asia, Indian tandoori dishes, such as chicken tikka made with Indian ingredients, enjoy widespread popularity. Indian cuisine is one of the most popular cuisines across the globe. Historically, Indian spices and herbs were one of the most sought after trade commodities. The spice trade between India and Europe led to the rise and dominance of Arab traders to such an extent that European explorers, such as Vasco da Gama and Christopher Columbus, set out to find new trade routes with India leading to the Age of Discovery. The popularity of curry, which originated in India, across Asia has often led to the dish being labeled as the "pan-Asian" dish.

Squirting colored water on passers-by, dunking friends in mud pool amidst teasing and laughter, getting intoxicated on "bhaang" and reveling with companions is perfectly acceptable. Boys dance about in the streets and play practical jokes with the passers-by. In fact, on the day of Holi, one can get away with almost anything by saying, "Bura na mano, Holi hai" (don't mind, it's Holi). "Pichkaris" and water balloons are filled with colors and spurted onto people, while young people were paying their respects to elders by sprinkling some colors on their feet, some powder would also be smeared on the faces of the deities, especially Lord Krishna and Radha. Women, especially, enjoy the freedom of relaxed rules and sometimes join in the merriment rather aggressively. In a way, Holi is a means for the people to experience relaxations from societal restrictions. But due to the temporary freedom the festival was supposed to give to people in a generally conservative society, sour accidents -- some of them deadly, could happen, when people got out of control after drinking and mirth-makings. At least three people were killed and 12 injured during Holi revelry in Bihar state in northern India Sunday night, police said Monday. Two people were killed in a village in Aurangabad district Monday while a man was shot dead in Patna district of Bihar late Sunday. Half-a-dozen people were injured in firing between two groups. Police were on guard throughout the country Monday to prevent such incidents to take place. Holi commences about ten days before the full moon of the month called "Phalgun" (February-March). During Holi festival, people clean up their houses by burning all useless articles in and around the house in the fire. 06.48
