Scenes from India

India is home to over 1.2 billion people of wildly varying religions, cultures and levels of wealth. Only 61 years since declaring its Independence from English rule, modern India is still defining itself, sometimes against the friction inside and outside of its borders. Recent newsworthy events in India include vast Monsoon flooding, conflicts in still-disputed Kashmir, and religious clashes between Hindus and Christians - and celebrations conducted by Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh and more. Though there's no possible way for these images to be comprehensive, here are some recent photos of scenes in India. (34 photos total)

Devotees carry a statue of the Hindu elephant god Ganesh, the deity of prosperity, for immersion in the sea, on the last day of "Ganesh Chaturthi", in Mumbai September 14, 2008.

The idols are taken through the streets in a procession accompanied with dancing and singing, to be immersed in a river symbolizing a ritual sendoff on his journey towards his home.

Very nice pics...but please stop this accusations based on religion! India is a secular country, there should be no violence concerning religion!!!! Whether it be Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, everyone has the right to choose whatever religion they want to follow. No one should force them to be something...Toleration should be there for everyone to choose what they...that's why India is called a Democratic and Secular country!!!!

Congratulations on the marvelous collection of pictures.

Regarding No.11.. Theyyam is a ritualized dance form in North Malabar (Northern Part of Kerala). Kochi is not a part of North Malabar. The photographer, if he clicked the picture from Kochi must have clicked it in some meet arranged for tourists. Also It has no relation to the 10 days festival to celebrate the old king mahabali, the caption talks about. That is Onam. Please refer to the link given below.

Looking at the face painting it looks like a 'kolam' of Muchilottu Bhagavati.

Posted by Sreejith December 1, 08 06:17 AM

Excellent photographs, but we need not bloat ourselves up with the wrong kind of Pride. We need to go beyond the often repeated "Proud to be an Indian" slogan which is actually used to describe the intolerant Pro-Hindu fundamentalist position, similar to "India Shining".
These photographs should lead to introspection about who we were and who we have become during the last 60 years since Independence, and inquire if while we have achieved material betterment, whether we have lost out on any of our unique qualities. There were/are many but the most valuable one to me is the "Tolerance". We are in danger of losing this and that makes me worried as well as sad.

If we are true Indians and love the country, it is not enough to be proud of the country. We ALL have to do something for our country and our people. There is a lot one can do in India, especially our younger generation who are full of energy, brilliant and open to new ideas. Whatever parts of India are shining today, despite the scumbag politicians, it is because of the ever smiling, hard working and enthusiastic younger generation that one sees working in the offices, malls, restaurants and other places in India. The country truly belongs to them. Hope they nurture it, keep it safe from thugs and antinationals. Jai Hind

Something mystical and eternal about this great country! Hope the spirit of democracy and secularism remain strong, and that the government is strict with the religious fanatics of all religions who practice hate and killing. Sometimes our politicians are guilty of committing the crimes we all would like to see end in India,
as happened in Gujrat. They should be caught and prosecuted.
These are beautiful pictures without compromise. You showed conflict as well as stunning beauty. Very commendable!

Ok, while the photographs are stunning, they show a glorified version of India. Yes this is a land of contrasts and extremes both environmentally and culturally, but the reality for millions of people is poverty and a desperate day to day struggle to survive. "Levels of wealth" is a gross understatement.

Posted by Asher July 11, 09 11:14 AM

Good show. But may I suggest two changes in wording. There is no need to preface "Hindu god" to everything. We can simply say birthday of Lord Krishna. Does anyone else say, Catholic Pope or Christian Jesus? Also Idol is the wrong word to use as its dictionary meaning is False God. Why cant we say icon, murthy or statue of Ganesh etc.? Let us project an image of confident and aware Hindu not a meek and an aping (the words and phrases we think others would like to use for our deities) one.
