States of India

Post independence in 1947, India has been divided into various states and union territories. There are as many as 28 States and another 7 Union Territories in India.

These States are further geographically divided into regions and divisions which are sub-divided into districts and various sub-divisions like villages, municipalities and sub-districts. The States and Union Territories are governed by Governors and Lieutenant-Governors, respectively.

From north to south or from east to west, history, culture, language, climate, dress, cuisine, fairs and festival and even physical features seem to vary in each state. 

Despite all these diversities, a note of harmony still runs through the states in India, binding them all into one nation.
