April is the month when many states in India celebrate the regional New Year - and this celebration is manifest in the form of purchases, especially gold. Our Feature story delves into the historical and cultural importance of gold in India. Truly, this glittering yellow metal that is woven into India’s cultural fabric. Talking about culture, we explore also the Chettinad in the deep South, where a community's rich heritage is locked within huge mansions. And on another note, we visit a Tibetan settlement in Bylakuppe, in the state of Karnataka, and observe how a community has made its home in a foreign land. There are other interesting features as well - a look at a camel milk is used to make special chai in Rajasthan; a chat with Mallika Srinivasan, CEO of TAFE (Tractors And Farm Equipment), India; and watch the drama unfold in the heavens as a God fights with this wife and vents his wrath on the world around him - all captured in the dance form of Kathakali in Picture Story.
