During 1854, the National Marian Congress Pope Pius XII esignated this shrine as a Minor Basilicad The shrine was renovated and given most of the present day features in 1904 as part of the golden jubilee of Pope Pius IX's Declaration of the Immaculate Conception in 1854.

The Map...

This is somewhere above Maharashtra at a height of 5000 m. This is not a great snap but the most unique aspect about it is that at this height, you can see the horizon not as a straight line but as an arc. One more... there is hardly any manmade construction visible from that high, isn't it?

Location: Maharashtra, India

Don’t mistake this for a MS Powerpoint template. This is a snap taken from an height of 11,000 meters. Feels closer to the almighty, doesn’t it?

Location: 11,000 meters above ground level, India

Mumbai mirror, Mumbai mess...

Mumbai mess tries to portray a city the infrastructure of which is being streched to the limits. Its a summer sunset at the backdrop against the dusty old structures.

Sparkle

Sparkle looks like a visual effect, but its not. This snap is clicked by a friend of mine. He used the flash and clicked the inside of a green wine bottle. Sparkling idea!
