India is best known internationally for the Taj Mahal, the white-marble mausoleum in Agra commissioned by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. The Himalayas form its northern frontier, while the Ganges crosses the densely populated north before reaching the Bay of Bengal. Farther west lies the Thar Desert, and the Western Ghats run alongside much of the peninsular west coast. India’s many languages, cuisines and faiths shape daily life across a vast federal republic; Diwali is celebrated by communities throughout the country. Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata each reflect different chapters of its urban history. Browse other webcams across India to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
