Last week, we shared a story about a Thai photographer who unveiled the reality behind picture-perfect Instragram photos.
This time, a Singapore-based tech company decided to shed light behind stunning travel photos through a photo series called “Broken India”. Limitless aims to show the other side of the story the glamorous Instragram photos fail to show.

Mesmerizing Instragram photos shot in several places India were superimposed on sceneries that reveal issues plaguing the country such as pollution and poverty.
The creators hope to bring positive change and start a national conversation through the photos. The thought-provoking project truly reveals how cropping and filtering can change the way we view everything.
“The Broken India series was inspired by a post we saw online on how Instagram only shows you one side of the story. This design idea fit well into our concept of two India’s that helped us take it to a new level,” Limitless told Bored Panda.
Tips for Travellers to India

Here are some tips for first-time visitors to India, according to Rough Guides.

2. Dress conservatively.
Compared to other countries, India has a relatively modest culture so it’s always advisable to dress conservatively. Do remember to take off your shoes before entering someone’s home or a sacred place.
3. Be cautious with what you eat or drink.
