India Exposed – A photo gallery
India is serenity, beauty, calmness. India is noise, pollution, crowds. India is irony, humor, drama. India is sharp contrasts, extreme wealth and extreme poverty.
India is a billion people and you get to see many facets of their lives in Clive Limpkin’s book,’India Exposed: The Subcontinent A-Z’ (Abbeyville Press)
All photos in this gallery are by Clive Limpkin. He is embarking on another trip to India in 2010 and wants to hear from readers with comments and suggestions - info@clivelimpkin.com

Love the feature on Books .The pictures from India On my Mind are captivating.
Will look forward to your next Book Review.
Lavina, quite an amazing site,very impressed. I love the way you have articulated your thoughts which I know are extensive into a fine story. Kudos to you.
Amazing pictures by Clive. My favorite is the over-burdened cycle. It’s like the lives of the people of rural India, so many cares for one person to handle. Great post Lavina.
Sulekha, what an insightful comment – I never thought of it that way! It’s so true though. I think I really would like to initiate a photography contest so we could share varied images of India, as our readers see it.
Lovely pics!! Thanks for sharing Lavina. In spite of all the madness, I just love this country!!
Each tell a hundred stories Lavina – I guess that’s what good pictures do. Enjoyed this post thoroughly
Swati, glad you enjoyed the images – yes, India is so special. Turn a corner, and there’s a story waiting to be told!
Kriti – you’re so right. This feature is two years old but is evergreen – the photos are there, waiting to involve the next person who comes along.
Pepsi flavored hookahs, sadhus and machinery, barber shops and village women – India is all this and more.
All the photographs of this gallery are simply alluring and insightful at the same time…loved reading this blog…Thanks for posting about India…
Hi Rahul, you are right – each of the pictures tells a story. The charm of India is that it is timeless – yet you will always find something new, something unexpected.
