Sparkling droplets

Next we have this photograph from Ananya Mani, of water droplets shimmering on a shoe flower.

Sunrise over the city

Goutam Dand e-mailed in this snapshot of a beautiful sunrise, taken when he was travelling to Ahmedabad from Ankleshwar in Gujarat.

Wealth of greenery

"This is the view of a paddy field in the Barpali District of Bargarh, Odisha," explains Deepak Goyal. "Even though it's summer, it's still green because of irrigation from the Hirakud Dam."

To cool off

And finally, we have this refreshing pic of rabdi-lassi from Deepak Goyal, which he says was taken near Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi.
