Uttar Pradesh is a state in north India with Lucknow as its administrative capital. It is the most populous state in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This region boasts immense artistic wealth. Many famous musicians come from there, including Hari Prasad Chaurasia and Ravi Shankar, who did much to introduce Western audiences to Indian music. Kathak, one of India’s classical dances, originated in Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Taj Mahal, the most frequented of all Indian monuments, is also in Uttar Pradesh. So are Varanasi, the spiritual capital of India, and Mathura, the mythical birthplace of the god Krishna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
