In the previous editions of the Datsun #GoThere contest, we have ended up discovering various unique bits of India. We learnt about the indigenous martial art form Kalaripayattu and the ancient practice of Yoga which has made India popular globally.
We even traced the origin of hookah in Jaisalmer and witnessed the making of Kolhapuri chappals. In this second edition of the third season of the #GoThere contest, we got to discover exciting bits of a fascinating stone which is desired by many people across the globe.
The diamond is widely believed to have been discovered in India sometime during the 4th century BC. Over the next centuries, diamonds were being discovered in other continents and regions. Steadily, demand for diamonds started to rise as miners continued to get lucky by discovering bigger untapped deposits of minerals containing rough crystals.
