India, oh India
orange, white, green, and a saffron
of courage your flag stands strong,
You are the land of festivals, we
celebrate your beauty India oh India
From colors and patterns,
Silks and clothes of
traditional beauty of clothing
we wear proudly, and proudly we
stand India oh India
Some do dances of Ultar Pradesh
and others do dances of Karnataka
to honor you India, oh India,
India, oh India your beauty
shines within your land and
inlands,
Stars shine bright in
India's skys up above
miles of land,
India, oh India
I love this land
of traditions and
dances, beauty and
light

Beautiful write. Great imagery with the descriptions of the flag and the color of the clothing. My favorite lines were these:
"Some do dances of Ultar Pradesh
and others do dances of Karnataka
to honor you India, oh India,"
Beautiful imagery in those lines and gives a feel of the culture, too. Keep up the good work.
