Geographic heat map – India (Excel template)

I was looking for a way to present/visualize state level data on an Indian map. I was not able to get that from the Bing maps application for Excel.

I am sure there are paid applications that might provide this functionality. I think this is a very basic need and I decided to prepare a simple template that can help create geographic heat maps for India.
