User:Fowler&fowler/Improved Images in FA India

As of 3 May, 2019, there were 71 images in the FA India. Many are a of a group of rotating images, which change every day, so you will not see them all at once, but gradually over a week. As far as I am aware, the article has more images than any other Featured Article. It took over a year to build the consensus for these images, from October 2011 to November 2012, with inputs from dozens editors. It began with admin Saravask's post in section 25, Talk:India/Archive 35, and sections below, to Talk:India/Archive 36, and ended with Talk:India/Archive 37, sections 33 through 38, in November 2012. Pictures marked with a are Wikipedia Featured Pictures, representing some of the best photographs on Wikipedia. Note that the pictures are balanced by region, and in the case of humans, by gender and ethnicity, as much as was possible then. This is an attempt to improve the images per a very helpful Talk:India post of Moxy (talk · contribs) a little while ago. (Featured pictures of India on Wikipedia can be found on: Category:Featured_pictures_of_India. On Commons, they can be found here, and here.)

A common name for such a place in Sanskrit ... is prayaga, ... such as Rudraprayag, situated at the meeting of two rivers: the Mandakini River, coming down from the steep glaciers beyond Kedarnath, and Alaknanda River, making its way from Badrinath."

(1999), Myth and Reality in the Rain Forest, University of California Press, pp. 35–, ISBN 978-0-520-22252-6 Quote: "The Agastyamalai are the the most southerly portion of the Western Ghats. These wet and rugged hills are one of the last places in South India to support an extensive area of evergreen shola forest, and they are home to what may be the largest surviving population of lion-tailed macaques"
