Spirit of India celebrates country’s diversity

As Indians slowly start to venture out and reignite their desire to travel again, CNN celebrates the Spirit of India in a special 30-minute programme, exploring age-old traditions, unique fine dining experiences and outdoor wonders. The show will air today at 3.30 pm and again on Sunday at 10.30 pm.

Among others, the show will feature Jaipur. It will showcase one of Rajasthan’s finest former royal homes—Samode Palace, now owned by Yadavendra Singh, a descendent of the royal family in a small town just outside Jaipur.

Another highlight will be the ancient art of calligraphy. One of the few remaining professionals in the field is Delhi-based Qamar Dagar, a pictorial calligrapher whose work features a combination of Hindi and Urdu font in poetry and paint.
