The term "culture" relates to the way people think and act. It consists of moral principles, ethical standards, and organisational structures for the social, political, and economic spheres. They are transmitted through both official and informal mechanisms from one generation to the next. The manner in which we think and behave as members of a society make up culture. Hence, culture is the general term used to describe all of a group’s accomplishments. In common parlance, the non-material, higher achievements of collective life are considered as distinct from the material parts of culture, such as scientific and technological advancements (art, music, literature, philosophy, religion and science). Such an institution produces culture, which manifests itself through language, the arts, philosophy, and religion. It also manifests itself through political institutions, economic institutions, and social practises and customs. There are two categories of culture: I material and (ii) non-material. Technology, tools, consumer products, household design and architecture, forms of production, trade, commerce, welfare, and other social activities are all included in the first category. Norms, values, beliefs, myths, legends, literature, ritual, art forms, and other intellectual-literary pursuits are included in the later. In most cultures, the tangible and immaterial components are intertwined. Yet, there are instances when material culture changes swiftly and non-material culture changes more slowly. Indian culture, according to indologists, represents a spiritual underpinning of life as well as a conventional social order.The culture of India is a priceless asset to our society. Of all the cultures in the world, Indian culture is the oldest. Even though Indian culture has experienced many ups and downs, it still shines with all of its majesty and splendour. Culture is a country’s essence. We can experience a culture’s history and current wealth on the basis of that culture. Culture is a collection of human values that uniquely and ideally sets a group apart from other social groups.
