Puri beach

Puri, a city sacred to Hinduism, home to an avatar of Vishnu in the temple of Jagannath, prohibited entry to Western visitors. The city leads to a long beach of fine sand but waves relentlessly and scorching sun. Until dusk falls, and then the Bengali holidaymakers are preparing to go to walk, barefoot, on the thin layer of water left by the retreating waves, and that reflects just a few minutes of agony, the last shades of pink from the sun in printing and dying to get rid of the clouds.

Thar Desert

In the picture, the Thar Desert, on which runs the border between India and Pakistan. Both countries have a border dispute dating back to independence and partition of the subcontinent in 1947. But in Thar tension does not reach the level it has in Kashmir. This area, in the Indian region of Rajasthan, has a sparse population and scattered. The foothills of Thar was the place chosen by India for its nuclear tests of 1998, which were condemned by the international community.
