The Breathtaking Beauty of INDIA -- a gallery in high-res, wallpaper-sized Images!
Hi guys

I'd posted this thread in the India section, but a lot of people have been asking me to post it in the international section as well, so here goes


India's booming economy means increased tourism and development and renovation of cities, historic sites and preservation of natural beauty of the most diverse nation on the planet. This thread aims to document that.

I've resized the pics 1024x768 pixels for ease of viewing in the thread. If you're going to use any of these pics as wallpapers, I recommend clicking the links to the large size (high resolution) versions of the image!

I'll keep updating this thread when I have the time

Cheers,
Jai

Great photos. I hope India doesn't become too westernized to the point that women stop wearing their colorful gowns, they look so good contrasted against the ruins.
