Culture of India:

The term ‘Culture’ is derived from the Latin word ‘cultus’, meaning cultivation, refinement, and worship. The term ‘Sanskriti’ is derived from the root ‘Kri’ (to do).

Over the centuries, there has been significant cultural fusion between Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Jains, Sikhs, and various tribal populations in India. India is the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and other religions, collectively known as Indian religions.
