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.

Umesh
January 19th, 2011 3:38 amFantastic photography! But not proud to be an Indian, due to farmers suicide rate is high in India, corruption is the big virus, beggars, dirt everywhere, very few places are good maintained, In India people at home are very decent and outside they behave worst, look at “Aamir Khan in Incredible India Ads – Harassment”

January 22nd, 2011 6:58 amThe reality is tragic, most of werstern people doesnt know the real face of India.
Here I can see epic pictures, but who likes fiction ? Only the week one who can not stand the brutality of real life. In our modern society we still have slavery in one of the biggest states from the world.
sam
January 23rd, 2011 10:46 amIndia is lovely and with great history and culture, but coming to real world issues, we do have to clean the dirt and filth and poverty in cities and towns, unplanned, unauthorised civil structure, lack of proper cleaning and waste disposal systems, toilets for 1.2 billion people, unclean rivers and absolutely chaotic traffic…need more stricter administration and better management of resources, better planning, ….its better to come to reality and remove false pride… nobody is saying India is not great, all sensible people want clean, safe environment, even Indians who go abroad appreciate clean, more organised systems. Plus we will always have out great spirituality and colours…

January 23rd, 2011 1:36 pmI am proud to have been born in India (1953) I have lived in the UK since 1962. India and its people have a very proud heritage. Many great things have come from this ancient civilisation. India is full of beauty and its people full of knowledge and wisdom. We can do anything we put our mind to. My story is inspiring for those who wish to be inspired. My blog is searchasyoutype.wordpress.com/about and I there have been many recent articles about me.
