“At sunset, Nature is painting for us… day after day… pictures of infinite beauty.”
With its color spreading from red to orange, sun goes down in the horizon creating a spectacular scenery, a magical art work! Sunset is indeed one of the most beautiful sights to behold especially when the sun drowns in the sea and the palm trees guard the pristine settings. Sinking in the horizon, the humble sun meets beloved Earth and promises her to rise again! The mountains, rivers and beaches in India offer some of the most magical sunsets. This is one such list.
