This choropleth map of India renders state boundaries as SVG paths, with each state filled using a categorical color scale and labeled with its name at the path centroid. The visualization loads GeoJSON from a GitHub gist, then uses `d3.geoMercator` with a custom translation and scale, `d3.geoPath`, and TopoJSON’s `feature` method to generate the shapes. State names appear as SVG text elements positioned via the path generator’s centroid function, while CSS styling adds black stroke outlines and hover effects.
