Happy Independence day India

I was helping some friends plan a trip to India. With flickr, it is nice to be able to show them the pics of the places to help them decide on their itinerary. Just then I realized that tomorrow is the Indian independence day. Here are some pictures from the four corners of India - Ladakh, the Tibetan area in the north, temples in Gujarat in the west, a beach on the Andaman & Nicobar islands in the south and mountains in Arunachal Pradesh in the east.
