The Beauty of India: 50 Amazing Photos
Today we’d like to publish something completely different for a change. India, the country of mysterious paradoxes; the land where civilizations and times intermix, a mysterious place which attracts people from all over the world. In today’s showcase we are presenting a little showcase of this astonishing contrast between wealth and misery, contemporary technologies and ancient historical monuments, plenty of languages, cultures and traditions.
We present people, places, traditions, culture and a broad overview of the incredible beauty of India — something different and inspirational for a change. Please let us know if you are interested in seeing more similar posts on Smashing Magazine in the future in the comments below.

It is dirty, but it is full of color and life.
That is India. Great India.

March 21st, 2010 8:40 pmalthough they might miss out what north america has, at least they can be happy and have a grounding to themselves. it is beautiful to see this and i wish the world can come together. i think the internet has killed family values

March 21st, 2010 10:22 pmWe’re not poor man, there are variety and this variety makes India. We are happy and we enjoy every bit of our culture and tradition. Today the whole world is mad about India because I don’t follow others, we lead the path. I’m proud to be an Indian.
Abhishek Gupta
March 24th, 2010 3:48 amI could not understand one thing. Why every time someone talks about India, only poor people who are happy and contended with their life, are showcased. I feel it is done because it sells India ( Eg. “Slumdog Millionaire” ).
I would just say that if there is an Indian sleeping carelessly under the open sky, there is also and an rich Indian sleeping at his/her home with all the meditativeness and calmness. What is important ; Happiness or the place where you are sleeping ?
It is a big world; beauty and all the good things are lying everywhere. So just do not get infatuated with the one. Travel, roam around and acquaint it yourself.
:)
Abhiram
March 21st, 2010 9:49 pmWow !! What made you think that people seen in photographs are poor?? I do not think that there is another place in the world where we can see some one sleeping care free under the open sky.
Secondly, it is a photography one should see and not the people in photograph. Awesome work done by lens !!
afraz
March 21st, 2010 9:52 pmYes dude you’re right. it’s an incredible India showing poverty. I amazed to see the image of ” Feet Jaipur, Catching Up, Taj Mahal, the other side. Agra, Colorful Masks, Tata Ace – The True India Truck!” and the winner amazing picture of the whole is colors-of-india where an old man is holding sewing machine on his shoulders..
Thanks Smashing magazine, in sense of Beauty, you satirically showed the real face of India. We always see incredible India in movies and internet. But this post was really really smashing.
Thanks

March 22nd, 2010 1:10 amYou are right friend but this not the complete side of India. Its just a showcase of some awesome pics from India.
If you want to know about real India than you must come once and I will be happy to welcome you and all other friends commenting here.

March 21st, 2010 4:46 pmI never knew, India was North India! The title of this is very wrong. It should be “The Beauty of North India”. Great pictures though.
Mayank Gupta
March 21st, 2010 10:44 pmNo wonder why Indians are called racist.. dude you can’t even take India as one complete nation… and you are talking about being proud of it. Anyway, I shouldn’t waste much time over these thoughts….
@Smashing Mag- Amazing! It was fantastic! All the pictures are awesome and they truly bring out the beauty of India. Would love to see other countries for sure :)

DD
March 23rd, 2010 12:49 amPity,
Guys can’t read and are easily opinionated with racism charges !
The guy merely pointed out that the pictures came mostly from the northern parts of India and not from the whole sub-continent. You may observe that save for the Pic from Meenakshi Temple and another possibly, all the other pics are from the Rajasthan,UP zones.
The pics are indeed great and nobody is suggesting that India is not beautiful, morons. What shall we term such incompoops? Blind ?
Vikku_
March 23rd, 2010 9:59 amIts completely Northern parts of India except “sri meenakshi sundareswara temple” one of the biggest temple in India which is in Tamil Nadu.. India is BIG and there are many flavors of cultures and languages.. One should need an entire life to know, to learn and to feel the beauty of India.
victor
March 24th, 2010 7:49 amvenu is 100% correct.. This is Only “Beauty of North India”..

March 20th, 2010 11:39 amYes same here :)
But these pictures still depict the view the western world has of us, and not the modern India that is slowly ushering in…
But let me not make it political here — the pics are indeed awesome! Great work.

Drew
March 20th, 2010 12:41 pmWonderful photos
@Chilly: You have every reason to be proud.
@Sanket: Modern India just makes the contrasts more extreme and more interesting. We all have modern offices, call centres and shopping malls and know what they look like.
Only India has your culture, traditions and history and this article celebrates that and for that I am grateful.
Parveen verma
March 20th, 2010 8:12 pm@Chilly: Same here
@Sanket: We were at the Chandni Chowk eating paranthas (stuffed fried breads) in all time famous “Parantha Wali Gali”. We had fun but my wife did not like paranthas there and asked me if the place was over rated to which i replied, “sweety, these guyz are serving us from 1870s and back then they did not have any modern facilities like we do have now, so you should enjoy the hospitality and should be thankful that they still exists” … I have been to many parts of the world, have spoken to many people and trust me people do save money to visit India, The Real India and not another Concrete Jungle as @Drew explained and @Drew Thank you very much for your thoughts on modern v/s heritage.

March 20th, 2010 11:10 amnice pics… but they don’t depict the true Modern India.
thedude
March 21st, 2010 8:36 pmThe photos are themselves proof that this is “real” india. These things exist and because they exist it makes India what it is. Just because you live in a different part of India doesnt mean that this one doesnt exist. And you say it like you are ashamed of it. Shame on you.
Learn to love and appreciate what you have. You dont see americans complaining on photos of ghettos or ghost towns saying this is not the “real” america. America is not all holyywood, hot dogs and new york and similarly India is not just bombay, bangalore and call centres.
the only thing in India that I am ashamed of is the politicians. :((
I loved the Dark Eyes. simply beautiful.

Asavari Honavar
March 20th, 2010 11:18 amHi,
Thank you for representing my country so beautifully. I enjoyed looking at a western perspective of India in terms of pictures. One small error, perhaps you’d like to correct it. Picture no. 39 is a mosque and not a temple.
And yes would love to see snapshots of other countries like Yemen (I am obsessed with the Socotra Island, after I saw a picture in the Conde Nast Traveller monthly Quiz), laos, Chile, Antigua, Hungary, Morocco, Russia etc.
-
warm regards
Asavari.
Jason
March 20th, 2010 11:27 amLovely photos! There are actually much more beautiful places in India.. most of these photos make India look slum-ish… there are actually some really beautiful places in India like southern india, such as Kerala… beautiful rainforests and beaches and backwaters… it’s a big tourist spot
eugin
March 22nd, 2010 2:56 amYes you are very right
aravind ajith
March 22nd, 2010 8:37 amagree with you..
when I saw the title, I actually expected to see some backwater and beach photos..
this collection is no different from Slum Dog Millionaire, makes India look slumish!
guys, you can try image search for ‘beaches India’ or ‘backwater India’ or anything other than ‘slums in India’. there are more. not just slums!

Just wondering…
Roy
March 20th, 2010 4:43 pmI think what is most mysterious and the thing that most foreigners notice about India and Indians are the difficult living conditions in most villages and at the same place they find more smiling faces than in an urban mall.
Raju
March 22nd, 2010 4:13 amvery well said!
jay
March 29th, 2010 6:29 am@Roy: you got it right, India is developing country, and that sometimes attracts camera (who wants to click a building created by European architect in India). Same way when an Indian visits western world he/she would click which not in India.

March 20th, 2010 4:51 pmOh god, look at Lai Baba’s eyes! Such depth! And the little ones, they are beautiful! All the pictures really tell us much of the beauties of India. One thing is hearing it from others… but looking at these pictures is an experience on its own. Thanks for posting these for everyone to enjoy. I’m puertorican, and I have taken a liking to India’s culture… while I know my knowledge about India is limited, I have cherished every bit of cultural joy I have received from any who have been willing to teach me some. I have studied the Ghita, compared it to the catholic bible, I have followed teachings from an indian guru (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar) and every bit of knowledge I’ve received, I hold dear, and I thank God, the divine, fate, and whatever force you believe in, for putting me in this path. :)
Jai Guru Dev!

Look at the guy at http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/india-038.jpg who is completely immersed in water (floods?

March 20th, 2010 10:19 pmThanks SM ,for this lovely post.However, snaps of how we folks are using modern tech in our own innovative ways would have been an added attraction…and it’s not about some drab malls and matchbox concrete stilts.

Enderby
March 21st, 2010 3:55 amI’m happy I saw these terrific pictures.
I have a friend who insisted every National Geographic issue had at least one picture that would qualify as cheesecake: a topless woman, a pretty girl with a come-hither look, something like that. We had a stack of NatGeo issues around and she could always find at least one picture that fit her theory. Kind of ruined looking at the magazine for me (this was twenty years ago).
I was reminded of her theory when I saw “damsel at Pushkar.”
All in all, very lovely pictures.

March 21st, 2010 4:21 amExcellent collection, it’s nice to see the diversity of India getting captured through these pictures.

Andrew Bruce
March 21st, 2010 5:52 amI recently travelled to India as an artist/photographer with a grant from the British Arts Council, when I was there I stayed with the photography students of NID Ahmedabad (the one academic photography course in India).
The first camera arrived in India just a few months after it’s invention! Ever since then India has been at the very peak of our perverse Western obsession with looking and ‘the other’..
In my opinion India is by far the most culturally complex place on this Earth, yet from these photographs all I get is the same old western gaze…
The photographs you show do not portray reality and they most definitely do not portray India… The slumdog-millionaire effect has done wonders for bringing the country to the forefront of our attention, but that too does a half-arsed job at portraying the country – a few minutes of smiling kids running through the slums does little to portray the reality of the poverty and deprivation in India…
So much of the imaginary coming out of India is ethically and morally questionable, and photographers bear this weight on their shoulders…

Amazing photos, India is a developing country so there is all kind of people, mostly poor people try to manage there work by hook or cook to earn some money so that they can survive. So you will see amazing photos of carry overload in small cart or small vehicle.
That only one part and second part also we need to see
