User:Fowler&fowler/Wikipedia India-related Featured Pictures

This is a list of Wikipedia India-related Featured Pictures, the best pictures of Wikipedia, which are not already in the India page. I'm sure there are more, which I'll be adding as and when I find them. Since featured pictures are images contributed by good photographers, indeed professional photographers, their subjects will depend on the photographers interests and the photographic opportunities available to them. In other words they cannot be expected to be balanced with respect to region, gender, ethnicity, etc. But they are superb pictures. The India FA has ten, which are not shown here.
