Map |
Uttar Pradesh has been the most dominant state in Indian poltics and culture
since Independence, producing over half of India's prime ministers. This is
partly because it's the nation's most populous - it has as many inhabitants
as Brazil - and partly because of the central role the region plays in the
religious lanscape of Hindus. The Ganges River, which forms the backbone of
Uttar Pradesh, is the sacred river of Hinduism, and four of the religion's
seven holy towns are in the state, including Varanasi, the holiest of them
all. Uttar Pradesh is also a places of major importance to Buddhists for it
was at Sarnath, just outside Varanasi, that the Buddha first preached his
message of the middle way. Most of Uttar Pradesh consists of the vast Ganges
plain, an area of awesome flatness which often floods dramatically during
the monsoon. |
