Summary/Abstract: India is akin to an ethnographic museum for the purpose of anthropological study. The nature of the diversity within Indian terrain itself gives rise to diversity in the following - Climate, Weather, Flora & Fauna as well as available resources. The connections between people and the landscapes they inhabit are very crucial, as each has an effect on the other. Human lifestyle is a consequence of efforts for continuous adaptation to these factors. Material culture is both a symbol and outcome of human lifestyle.
