The Meerut City

This name may have mutated to Mairashtra, Mai-dant-ka-khera, Mairaath and eventually Meerut.

It is the largest producer of sports goods (also known as the “Sports City of India”, musical instruments, small industry goods (mainly scissors and handlooms), and the biggest gold market in Asia.
Cultural Heritage of Bharat
Indian word for culture is “Sanskriti”. From time immemorial, Indians have described their culture as “Human Culture” (Manav Dharma/Sanskriti). It has a universal appeal. The principle of “Unity in Diversity” is the implicit law of nature, universe and life. People belonging to diverse communities, speaking different languages, having different food, and performing different customs harmoniously co-exist in India. The soul of the cultural heritage of India lies in the fact that it’s an all-embracing confluence of religions, traditions, customs and beliefs. Over the years, numerous styles of art, architecture, painting, music, dance, festivals, and customs have developed in India and this wide variety has made the Indian culture unparalled which the entire world still looks up to. The cultural heritage of India still flourishes maintaining its original features together along with changes, a key indicator of its strength.
