At the heart of Indian culture is the concept of Dharma (duty) and the "Joint Family" system. While urban areas are shifting toward nuclear families, the emotional core remains communal.

This hospitality is best seen in the phrase Atithi Devo Bhava , meaning "the guest is God." A Sensory Explosion: Food and Festivals
