Reader Chandan Kumar sent in this still of Pushkar Jheel in Rajasthan. "It was an incredible journey from Delhi to Jaipur, Ajmer and Pushkar," says Kumar. "I was told that I could get mesmerising pics if I reached Pushkar Jheel before sunrise. This is what I got and I will cherish it throughout my life."
