India is special, I mean, she is so unique in her own way that someone who visits her for the first time will totally be bowled over by her crazyness !
From the ‘newspaper wala’ (newspaper vendor) at the traffic lights, to the matrix defeating electricity wires, only India can survive in its own mess.
India is organized uniquely in the chaos and that’s what makes her special!
And there are some fun moments there in, check them out!

Amazing collection .. thanks for sharing .. 🙂
Nice collection of pictures! 🙂 Just a thought on #17.. should we say Cricket is the ‘only’ thing that unites us?
55. Messages are received best when they come from our Gods. Received was misspelled and grammar was wrong.
Thanks for letting know Anusha. Appreciate it. 🙂
Nice pictures! The 3D painting was painted by an American 3D artist Tracy Lee Stum at VIT University. She was invited for the college culturals, Riviera in 2011. The road it was painted on is within the college campus.
Thanks for dropping by Jodie – Amazing effort there! I’d love to join you guys.

The picture no. 62 named Dichotomy was shot by me last year in Prime arcade area of Surat. It shows two diff class/ discrimination/ mindset/ livehood of our country. you can also view it in my blog http://500px.com/rangan-innoVision
bro that elephant pic is from burma .. Your pics are great nice collection !
pics are really good,but where is south india…
It would have been great if you have also share the image source and credit to the individual photographer.
Awesome pics
#29 is by Hari Menon. you can contact him through Facebook.
A very nice compilation….
No.40 is the Mahabat Maqbara Palace at Junagadh.
15 is a bull!! 😀
Great attempt but it would be nice if could also bring out the beauty and uniqueness of the North-East states since they are often ignored
One of the best image galleries I have come across. Will place it in the same league as any of the galleries of The Big Picture. Going to share it on my social networks as well.
But I would still like to point out that when the theme was unique pictures from India, including 6-7 pictures of temples seems out of place. 1 or 2 pictures of temples would have given the idea that we have temples with architecture worth visiting the place for. The remaining spots could have been allotted to more deserving unique aspects of India. Just my two cents on an otherwise splendid collection!
Great work!
But may want consider covering a little of the north-east and the islands.
Very nice compilation!. What/Where is the structure in picture number 40?
I am here for almost 6 months and I am in love! <3
Superb Posters……Continue of sharing photos like this…..JAI HIND
Amazing collection! What is pic #40?

Awsum collection Mani. Makes me realize there is so much yet to discover in India
An excellent attempt to glimpse… to unseal the Essence of our wonderful nation to the world…
Of course there are many many many more photographs that remain to have been a part .
But this very attempt is a beautiful beginning… and complete in itself
My best wishes once again for the artistic attempt !!!

Which place is it at No. 40? the taj sort of look alike??
Amazing set of photographs! Just wanted to point out however, that ‘No.3’ has been repeated and the total count is 65. Minor technicalities aside, good work!
Not sure what Subhendu is talking about? I grew up watching the huge republic day parade that rolls through rajpath on tv.great work Mani, you got all right dude.
So glad to see the satellite image appropriately captioned. The Beware of Tigers pic is awesome! Do you happen to know which Park/Sanctuary/Reserve it is from?
This is really good!!!! Makes me Proud to be an Indian!!!
One thing is missing!!!!
