40 Beautiful Photos Of India
By Hongkiat Lim. Filed in Inspiration
India is the land of colors where different cultures and people live together prosperously. It is a mystic land and is rightly called as the land of prayers. People of different ethnicity and religion live in India and call it their motherland. Basis of these different ethnicity and religions can be found in the country’s history.
It has been ruled by Hindus, Muslims as well as Christians from time to time. These rulers have built incredible buildings that are a landmark of this country. Most of the heritage buildings were built by Mughals who ruled the country for more than 300 years. The most important building of them all, the Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan -a Mughal ruler- in memory of his wife, Mumtaz. Anyone who has been to India knows the importance of these buildings and what they mean in terms of the historic value.
India is so vast and full of variety that even the Indians don’t get to see the whole of it, let alone the tourists. You have to visit the place to know it. However, the photographs give you a good idea of how the place looks and how it should feel like. It also helps you to decide what places you want to visit when you are planning a trip to India.
We have collected a number of photographs which capture the colorful glimpses of the daily life in India. These photos give you a broader view of the people and cultural heritage of this country.
People And Culture
India is home to great variety of people and cultures. The main religions of the people are Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism and Christianity. It is a place of great cultural importance. Each state has a very different and peculiar culture which doesn’t fail to leave a mark on the memory of whosoever visits them. Spicy food, colorful dresses and classical dance are the prominent features of Indian culture.
Feet Adorned. The photograph here shows the feet of a Tamil bride getting ready for her wedding. The feet of this bride are adorned with a silver anklet and Mehndi. Mehndi (henna) which is a prominent feature of Indian brides.
The little girl captured in this photograph is performing Bharat Natyam, a classic Indian dance form
Kerala Runway. The farmer is chasing after his oxen (or bullocks as they are called in India and Australia). These Oxen are used to plough land by many farmers in India.
Camels in Rajasthan. A local guy is running after his camel trying to get them to move in the direction of home.
Men at Work. This photograph shows a local man filtering the tea through four filter pans. This is completely normal as many tea-stalls use cloth filter instead of steel filter to cut costs.
Victoria Terminus suburban railway station. This heritage building was built in 1887 and looks more of an old castle than a railway station. It has been renamed to Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus.
Varanasi morning. Locally called as Banaras, this city is popular for being located on the banks of the river Ganges. Ganges is the most sacred river to millions of Hindus living in the country.
