Last updated on: March 31, 2010 18:08 IST


We invited readers to send in their favourite travel pic -- that one photograph that perfectly captures the beauty of a place they visited. And we have been inundated with stunning pics from every corner of India.

Here are some beautiful photos that capture the clouds and the sun in their various forms.

First up, Leena Raut sent in a picture of the Bhandardara Lake in Maharashtra, where the sun peeks out from behind a thick cloud cover.

Do you have a photograph that perfectly captures the beauty of a place -- of a breathtaking peak or picture-perfect seashore? Share it with the world. Simply send in your photograph (original photos only) to travelpicsga@rediffmail.com (subject line: 'My travel pic'), along with your name, the name of the place, a short description of the photograph, when you visited and what you liked most about the place. We'll feature the best pics right here on rediff.com and India Abroad.
