People who live in or have traveled to India?

I am trying to plan a trip to India and a couple other places in July or so. I wanted to know of some places to check out, I HATE huge groups of tourists, immensley, I want to go experience the culture, see local stuff, not walk around with a big group of Americans, I hate it, so what are some hidden treasures or more local places I could see? What cities should I go to? I want to do a lot of photography while I am there, especially of local markets and Hindu culture and art, what would be some good places to check out? Thanks a ton
After suggestions from you all and research I have decided to visit India next year at some point, away from the tourist months. But thank you for the suggestions, they will help when planning my trip next year

1. u may avoid July-aug., since it may beraining at many places in India. sept. should be excellent.
2. India is a country of extremely diversified culture. to select a few for u..
A) Hindu- sept 30, is a beginning of 9 day festival (nav ratri) in Kolkata(Durga puja). The same is also celebrated with great enthusiasm in gujarat(Ahmedabad or baroda). Don’t miss If u happen to be in India on 24th Aug., (birth day of Lord Krishna) go to Mathura, the birth place of lord Krishna.
B) Buddhist- if u r planning to go to Kolkata, go to Darjiling, siliguri, Kalimpong(all r hill stn & profoundly Budhist)
C) ISLAM;-Visit Ajmer for alliance of hindu & islamic culture.
HISTORY; don’t miss Taj(Agra) & do visit jaipur or udaipur for Rajput history.
LOCAL STUFF: Incredible India organizes village life tour in vatrious parts of the country where u shall have chance to see from a very close distance the life of villagers,their culture, their arts and crafts. Jaiselmer shall be very nice & there u can have a camel ride into the dessert too.
