My family did a long road trip around Rajasthan back in the early 2000s -- there is gorgeous architecture and art strewn all over the landscape, completely unlike what you will find elsewhere in the world. As a brown guy raised in the West (or its embassies in other parts of the world) it was a formative experience, opening my eyes to the fantastically massive bodies of artistic achievement outside the confines of traditional western fine art. I'd recommend a trip to the subcontinent if you ever get a chance, with the usual disclaimer: tread carefully if you're a woman. Lots of stories from my mom and sister (and more recently my wife) on that front, none of them good.
