The state even through all these changes has maintained its independence of spirit and has continued to follow its own important religions, mostly Hinduism and Buddhism and has built up a stunning area to visit.

They are wonderfully vibrant celebrations and a truly marvellous sight to behold and it is hard to go to one without getting caught up in the gaiety and excitement of the event. Alongside the upbeat excitement of the festivals there are many other attractions to the area that are a little more sedate.
