Culture in India or any where in world is knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. It also denotes the way of life of people, a whole society or a particular group within it, which includes not only beliefs, values and rules of conduct, but also the material resources of a society or a group.
