Discover India Magazine - March - April 2021

In this issue

The March-April issue of Discover India gives you the lowdown on the best summer destinations in the country to suit all kinds of holidays. Get a peek into the Kerala Folklore Museum in Kochi; learn how the royal cuisine of Rewa in Madhya Pradesh changed with time; and get a taste of the laid-back plantation life in Assam’s Balipara. An interview with the co-founder of Fabcafe, Rebekah Blank, reveals her love for India while a stunning photo essay captures the marine life that thrives along India’s coastline.

“Culturally, I'm fairly Indian.”

Rebekah Blank does not remember life before India, for a good reason—she was barely a toddler when her family left the US. The co-founder of Fabcafe (the dining arm of FabIndia) and Atmosphere Kombucha talks about growing up in Mussoorie, living in Delhi, and her love for the outdoors and healthy eating.
