India is a land of temples, all just begging to be photographed. One of the most beautiful is the Kapaleeshwarar Temple in Chennai, a colorful Hindu temple dedicated to the god Shiva.
This picture, which shows just a portion of the complex, is of the temple entrance.
As this picture shows, India's Holi Festival is certainly a colorful affair.
Held each spring, this important Hindu celebration can trace its roots back centuries and provides an incredible backdrop for superb photos of the country's rich culture and traditions.
Located at the water's edge in downtown Mumbai, the 26-meter-tall Gateway of India was erected in 1911 as a tribute to the British monarchy.
A meeting place for locals and visitors alike, this spectacular structure is one of the city's most photographed landmarks.

India has long been influenced by its mighty rivers. Shown here passing through the city of Varanasi, the spectacular 2,525-kilometer-long Ganges river is also an important religious site and is much revered.

Located on the country's west coast, Goa is home to numerous fine beaches and has a reputation as a popular resort destination.
Of the many beaches here, Cola Beach is one of the best places to snap a photo at sunset.

Once a royal garden, Bada Bagh – part of the magnificent Golden City in Jaisalmer – contains the cenotaphs of a variety of regional rulers' bygone days.
For the best photos, be sure to frame these beautiful red sandstone buildings with the greenery of the surrounding mango groves.
Long a staple of the country's economy - and one of the reasons why it was for so long a part of the British Empire - India's tea-growing regions provide an attractive subject for photos.
These tea plantations in Munnar are typical of the kind of images you'll be able to capture when you venture out of the city.
One of the best ways to get around India is via train. It's also a fun way to discover exciting new photo opportunities, especially in mountainous regions of the country, such as Shimla in the Himalayan foothills.
India's temples and shrines also provide spectacular interior photography opportunities, too.
Here, the camera has captured the majesty of the towering columns and brightly painted ceilings of the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai.
Of all India's many beautiful temples, few can match the Golden Temple of Amritsar (Harmandir Sahib). Built in 1604, this magnificent building is further enhanced by its waterside setting.

Some of the best photographs of India can be had in the countryside. Here, the lush vegetation of Periyar National Park in Kerala is home to a variety of wildlife, including countless bird species and elephants.
The best images of India are often those that contrast man-made structures against the country's lush vegetation.
Here, the photographer has perfectly captured the beauty of Jahangiri Palace in Agra along with the surrounding countryside at sunrise.
Started in the 5th century, the spectacular Ellora Caves consist of 34 distinct monasteries, chapels, and temples carved out of the rock face.
Shown here, the entrance to the caves only provides a taste of the photogenic splendor within.
Shown here lit up at night, the Mehrangarh Fort – also known as the "Blue City" – dominates the city of Jodhpur.
While some of the best shots are of the fort in the distance, make sure you book a tour of this incredible structure.
The red sandstone minaret in Qutub Minar in New Delhi makes for a very dramatic photo.
The country's largest minaret is set in a large complex housing numerous old tombs and other interesting structures.
Famous the world over for its tea, Darjeeling in West Bengal makes for a great jumping-off point for those wanting to explore the Himalayas .
This lush, fertile region also offers no shortage of stunning vistas.
Connecting Mumbai's main business district to the rest of the city, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link makes for a stunning photo backdrop - especially at night.
Built in the early 17th century and one of the country's oldest (and largest) mosques, Hyderabad's Mecca Masjid is one of India's most popular religious landmarks to photograph. Consisting of 15 huge arches, a massive main gate, and a large public square, the building can house up to 10,000 worshippers at any one time.
In addition to its stunning architectural features, the arches themselves make for a great close-up thanks to their ornate decoration and inscriptions. The minarets are also very photo-worthy, too.
The savvy photographer knows there's much more to Goa than simply its beautiful beaches. It's here you'll find the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary , a densely forested region that, as its name suggests, offers plenty of opportunities to photograph Indian wildlife.
Highlights of the park's rich fauna include deer, monkeys, and elephants. Though harder to spot, the park is also home to numerous big cats, including leopards, panthers, and tigers. Another highlight is seeing (and photographing) its many splendid waterfall features, such as those shown in this photo.

How the Key Bridge Collapsed in Baltimore: Maps and Photos
By Weiyi Cai , Agnes Chang , Lauren Leatherby , Lazaro Gamio , Leanne Abraham and Scott Reinhard
On Tuesday, a major bridge in Baltimore collapsed into the water seconds after it was struck by a cargo ship, sending vehicles on the bridge into the river below. The ship lost power and issued a mayday call shortly before it hit the bridge.
The ship, a 948-foot-long cargo vessel called Dali, was about a half hour into its journey toward Colombo, Sri Lanka, when it hit a main pillar of the bridge. All crew members are safe, according to the ship’s owners.
Follow our live coverage .
A mayday call from the ship gave officials enough time to stop traffic at both ends of the bridge. The waters where the bridge collapsed are about 50 feet deep. By Tuesday morning, six construction workers who had been fixing potholes on the bridge remained missing as divers and other emergency workers on boats and helicopters continued to search for them. Two others had been rescued, and one was in the hospital.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge was opened in 1977 and carried more than 12.4 million vehicles last year. The bridge was one of the three major ways to cross the Patapsco River and formed part of Baltimore’s beltway.
The Port of Baltimore is a major trade hub that handled a record amount of foreign cargo last year. It is an especially important destination — the nation’s largest by volume last year — for deliveries of cars and light trucks.

Note: Ship positions are as of 2:46 p.m. Eastern time.
Overall, Baltimore was the 17th biggest port in the United States in 2021, ranked by total tons, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The bridge collapse brought marine traffic there to a standstill, with seven cargo or tanker ships stranded in the harbor as of Tuesday afternoon.
Gov. Wes Moore declared a state of emergency for Maryland and said that his office was in close communication with Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. transportation secretary. The White House issued a statement saying that President Biden had been briefed on the collapse.
