Fork of Map of India - States and Union Territories
An interactive map of India visualizes all states and union territories, with click-to-select details, hover tooltips, zoom and pan controls, search, and type/region filtering. Built with D3 v7, it renders geographic boundaries from GeoJSON using `d3.geoMercator` and `d3.geoPath`, applies zoom via `d3.zoom`, and dynamically layers labels over an SVG canvas. A statistics panel and legend enrich the experience, while tooltips and state information pull from a curated dataset.
