Detection of gravitational waves by two LIGO detectors has begun a new exciting era of gravitational wave astronomy. Following the two detections, India has stepped in the global effort towards gravitational wave observation via her involvement in the LIGOIndia project. The LIGO-India project will open up new opportunities in the cutting edge and challenging field of gravitational wave detection. This article provides a background about gravitational waves and interferometric detector.
