Shivaji Ghosh visited Visakhapatnam in December 2007 and sends in this photo.

Krishanu Kaushik sends this photo.

"I took the photograph on a dew covered morning of December '09 at Kaziranga National Park. With the trees and hills (Burha Pahar meaning Old Hill) in the background, it was a spectacularly magic moment! Grazing together in that swamp were more than ten times the number of deer you see in this picture. It was not possible to capture all of them in one photo.

"Also, the thick dew coupled with my simple point-and-shoot camera made it very hard to get a good photograph. But I think the photo captures the moment well."

A picturesque view in front of Hotel Chanderbhaga in Keylong, the headquarter of Lahaul disctrict," says Soumen Mukherjee of this pic.

"The picture was taken just after sunset in October 2005 during my visit there. The road in this picture leads to Leh."

The Valley of Flowers is situated in Garhwal, near the famous Joshimath," shares Pratul Joshi who sends in this pic.

"It is open only between June to October, and I travelled to this place in August 2008 when it is in bloom."

Pratul also sends this pic.

"It is a hanging bridge made mainly of bamboo and iron and is located in a remote place in East Siang district."

Fidelis Fernando sends in three pics of the beautiful Dhanushkodi or Danushkodi in Tamil Nadu.

"It is a small village on Rameswaram island in east Tamil Nadu," he shares.

Dhanushkodi has the only land border between India and Sri Lanka, one of the smallest in the world (just 50 yards) on a sand dune in Palk Strait.

The town was a flourishing pilgrimage site before being wiped out by a cyclone in 1964.

I have always been fascinated by railway stations," shares Sharad Dhumane.

"This is a small station on the Konkan Railway route and it truly reflects the place. Konkanis are economical (no wastage), very functional and aesthetic. The landscape is beautiful. All this can be seen in the station, with minimal station structure, everything nicely placed, very clean. There are mountains in the distance and one has to climb to get to the station."
