Abstract: 
"This thesis presents the addition of a new country, India, to the World Showcase at EPCOT. It also aims to cover varied architectural styles found within India and uses several inspirations for designing this pavilion, to ensure that the guest’s experience of traveling in India is as authentic as possible. The history and culture of India, and the contributions that it has made to the world, are discussed. Of India, Pandit Nehru lovingly wrote: 'India is a geographical and economic entity, a cultural unity amidst diversity, a bundle of contradictions held together by strong but invisible threads. She is a myth and an idea, a dream and a vision, and yet very real and present and pervasive.' (Makin)"
