Gujarat has thus been exposed to a succession of alien races and in the process it has imbibed elements of a variety of cultures, and yet retained its cultural individuality. The state is renowned for its holy temples, historic capitals replete with immense architectural wealth, wildlife sanctuaries, beaches and hill resorts. The folklore and folk culture of Gujarat can be traced to the mythology of Krishna, an incarnation of the god Vishnu. Dances in honour of Krishna have survived in the form of the popular folk dance, the 'garba'. A folk drama, the 'bhavai', also has survived. The fascinating handicrafts, mouth watering cuisine and colourful lifestyle of the people of Gujarat, are renowned all over the country.
