Country Roads in India

These are photographs of country roads or country scenes in Rural India. All the pictures are taken in the state of Maharashtra.

This is a lonely figure of a young boy walking along a winding country road.  The photo has been shot at dusk.

This photo is of two bailgadis or bullock carts ambling along a country road amongst green fields. It is a bright sunny day.

This road runs through a sparse jungle.

This country road in the Kamshet district of Maharashtra is not as well paved as the other ones. The picture was shot at dusk and the pink sky and a hill forms a background to the road. A woman walks along the narrow road, carrying sticks on her head. In the distance you can see a couple of men walking along.

Another country road through cultivated fields. Some crops (rice and sugarcane) are being grown here on the farmlands on either side of the road. A jeep can be seen at the far end of the road. Usually on rural roads you see cycles, bullock-carts, motor-cycles or jeeps.
