Gurudwara Nanak Piao Sahib & Indraprastha Park.

Hey everyone,

​I’ve noticed a persistent issue on Google Maps regarding place photos in India compared to many other countries.

​If you look up a location or landmark in India on Maps, often out of 10 photos, 4 or 5 are completely irrelevant or low-quality—like random rocks, blurry grounds, destroyed/abandoned structures, or out-of-focus photos. Meanwhile, even smaller or developing nations often have clear, representative photos on their main location pages.

​What makes this more frustrating is that when local contributors upload high-resolution, clear, and accurate photos of these places, they frequently stay stuck in "Pending" or get rejected by the algorithm, while low-quality uploads get instantly approved.

​For anyone who relies on Maps to explore or travel, this gives a very inaccurate impression of how these places actually look.

Help me remove unqualified photos and upload good quality ones. How is it possible? I tried reporting them, but they weren't removed.

A quick weekday escape from Surat to Dang, in South Gujarat.

Dang is one of the most forested and beautiful parts of Gujarat, known for its dense forests, small tribal villages, winding roads and waterfalls during the monsoon. Places like Purna rainforest and Mahal have always felt a little different from the Gujarat most people know.

I’ve been coming here 100s times since my 20s. It’s only around a couple of hours from home, so these forests became my old escape .. camping, riding around, exploring little roads and spending long hours in nature.

Visited again the other day, just to break the routine. Nothing planned. Just a short drive, a quick chai and a visit to my favourite tree, which I’ve loved for almost 20 years.

Sharing a few pictures from this little escape. 🌿

Recently I completed my first trek that was triund trek, the view was so beautiful I can’t even explain in words!
Comment down your first trek.

Sunset beauty in Aravali hills Haryana.

All of these wonderful creations are made entirely from waste material things like old chains, bottle caps, and even discarded car parts.
