India’s national anthem is one of the most sonorous national anthems in the world.
जनगणमन अधिनायक जय हे, भारतभाग्यविधाता।
पंजाब सिन्धु गुजरात मराठा, द्राविड़ उत्कल बंग।
विंध्य हिमाचल यमुना गंगा, उच्छल जलधि तरंग।
तव शुभ नामे जागे, तव शुभ आशिष मागे।
गाहे तव जयगाथा।
जनगणमंगलदायक जय हे, भारतभाग्यविधाता।
जय हे, जय हे, जय हे, जय जय जय जय हे॥
