I have never been to India, and have an interest in viewing historical monuments and buildings, Hindu temples, architecture, art.
Thank you very much for suggestions you might offer.
The country begins to scorch almost all over except in the mountains durning May. It won't start to rain till July. The north, in and around New Delhi might be a good option considering easier access to an excursion into the Himalayan towns of Simla, Kasauli, Kullu, Manali. Delhi itself and surrounding states of Rajasthan, U.P. and Uttaranchal in their towns of Jaipur, Agra, Varanasi all provide fascinating experiences for tourists seeking the Indian experience.
