This next one is from Prasun Sanyal. "This photograph was taken at Delhi Zoo in the month of March," he says. "The hippo calf is relaxing in the water due to the heat. Every animal, whether big or small, was relaxing in either shade or taking to water."

Shaleen Shah e-mailed us this image, saying, "I just couldn't stop myself from clicking this picture on a hot Sunday afternoon in Jaipur. I could just see how important that tree's shade was to the watchman, who was relaxing a little too much!"

We received this one from Sandeep Sekhon, of a little girl at a roadside tea stall, her head covered to keep the fierce summer heat at bay.

And finally, we have this image from Manjunath Sagar, of his son Akhilesh playing with cousins during the summer holidays. "This is his favourite grandmother's house in Balegundi, Sagar, in the Shimoga District," he explains.
