This is how India looked on the Diwali night from the satellite in outer space. Well, at leats this is what it would have looked in an artist’s imagination. The whole country is shining like jewels in complex nexus of lines.
There are doubts if this is a real image, but whatever the truth while being mesmerized by the beauty of this image think of the amount of carbon dioxide we have thrown into the space on Diwali. Even a lifetime of planting trees cant take away the damage we have done in one night. Ironic, how we are strangling the throat of the very mother that sustains us.

Good Point! Agreeee

Hey guys
Sorry to burst your bubble! but this is a FAKE pic!
If you want to feel proud to be Indian, I think we should first stop publishing lies like this to misguide others!
And the rest need to do a little more research.
BTW, we got a lot of other stuff to make us feel good about being Indian!
Cheers.
i am a patriot of my country but could not get why the hell Sri Lanka is lite up too. They dont celebrate Diwali like us Indians. Just saying.
itz real…..
The brighter spots easily mark the more metropolitan cities and it is also interesting to the Indus and how the population is clustered around the rivers. Well kinda expected as almost all ancient civilizations settled near a water body..
Anyhow, here’s an interesting superimposed map that I’ve included the major cities and a rough approximation of the area of Punjab (India). Not a 100% but still a good approximation:
First time posting in article section so not sure if it will accept image tags. If not click the link
Yeah perhaps not on Diwali… but its a real image
this is not picture of india…confirm…do not use it or forward it plz.
I respect PP and we should not appreciate if PP will start sharing wrong information….
This is a total fake Pic… Bobby paaji Please don’t share misleading information…
hey man.. at least read the words before you post… “There are doubts if this is a real image, but whatever the truth while being mesmerized by the beauty of this image think of the amount of carbon dioxide we have thrown into the space on Diwali.”
The article doesnt say its real.. if you choose not to read the lines, its not PP’s fault…
कृपया इस मानचित्र का उपयोग न करें, इसमें भारत माँ का मस्तक कश्मीर, कटा हुआ दिखाया गया है।

I would advise you that watch your language and don’t be rude to us….
Hey man… first, i apologize for the R word. Secondly its Rick… not Bobby… Please check who made the comment. Bobby probably doesn’t know about these comments anyway.
this is all demand and supply rule…………..if govt is unable to give electricity then people says that govt is doing noting………..
ma point is we should not waste power in lighting houses unnecessarily……….moreover we should not make ourselves so comfortable that we are unable to bear climatic changes………………summers ac’s are on entering rooms and they are left on sometime when there is no one in room…………….lights, fans , heaters(in winters) motors, pc’s , chargers , almost everyting is consuming power for no reason……………….this was ma point of view…………………we are destroying power and we are destroying environment unknowingly……………………….
This is not unnecessarily, we are not lighting our houses daily, this is our festival and this the only way to calibrate it.
We can live without AC, fridge and other equipments of electricity why we are using them, we all know these equipments are effecting our environment but we are still using………..WHY????????????????

Eh ni ho sakda k ohna ne PP to photo chakki howe?
Too late for me to comment in 2010…but here in 2011:
This is a composite image showing increased lighting over 11 years – not diwali. Sorry… It looked way too bright, even for Diwali – so I was very suspicious. Here’s one source that seems to have the truth about the image:
http://www.sciencephoto.com/media/160012/view
Credit: NOAA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
Caption: India at night, satellite view. This image is a composite showing the change in illumination over India from 1992-2003. Satellite data from 2003 is coloured red, 1998 is coloured green and 1992 is blue. The three data sets are composited to form the image. Nighttime lights on the map that are white are lights that were present throughout the entire period. Areas that are marked by red have only appeared in 2003. Areas coloured green and blue were only present in 1998 and 1992 respectively but are no longer visible. This image was created by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, USA.
The article doesnt say that its original… it says “there are doubts”
Please read the comments.
This is an ABSOLUTE fake. Please do not spread Non Sense.

— It’s actually a composite of images taken by a US satellite in 1992, 1998 & 2003 represented in Red, Green & Blue respectively. The white parts are formed by the RGB components combining & represent places present in all three pictures ie the cities –
The article doesnt say that its original… it says “there are doubts”.. please read before you post non-sense
I won’t bother to think its real or not.I know for sure this is how we look from space and pay attention the brightest part is punjab..
I agree……….
may I know the source of the pic. who clicked that pic and sent you? In this pic even Shri Lanka is glittering :) does that means shri lankan’s also celebrated diwali?
but the message you want to give through this short note, i support that cause.
buddies just say no to crackers and electric decorations, make diwali safe and clean. Even traditions should be changed if they are destructing life on earth.
Guru Nanak ne v keha hai
“Pawan Guru Paani Pita Mata Dharat Mahatt”
rishiya-muniya te guruya peera’n de desh wich Guru wargi paun, Pita warge Paani te Maa wargi dharti nu saaf rakhna sadda sab da farz hai.
Just as i said before. It might be fake, but it makes you wonder how really it would have looked? Shiny or full of smoke clouds?
thanks for replying. And I think according to your observation that ‘how really it would have looked (from the satellite in outer space) ‘ you should edit your article and this phrase should be written instead of ‘This is how India looked on the Diwali night from the satellite in outer space’
The article had already been edited :D
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
such a wonderful view..but felt really bad after knowing the fact that it caused so much environment destruction to look this pretty,,,ppl grow up!!..y ruining this motherland for ur next generations…
you think this is bad for the environment , this would be one night, what about las vegas lights that are on all year long . how much is that effecting the environment?
wooowwwwww !! But it seems really fake . . . fer vi, wtever, sarey jahan se achha HINDUSTAN hamara :-) !!
put in the link that could lead to prove this a fake!!! i liked ur info… :)
It’s a fake. It’s actually a composite of images taken by a US satellite in 1992, 1998 & 2003 represented in Red, Green & Blue respectively. The white parts are formed by the RGB components combining & represent places present in all three pictures ie the cities. :-)
Fake or not, it does make you think and personally i always wondered how would India look from space on Diwali Night, full of lights, or full of smoke?
wow
Mind Blowing :)
and hopefully thought provoking
OMG !!! i know we should go green ,,, but it looks Mind blowinggggggggggg !!!!!!!!!!!!!
At leats you are honest.
gr8 picture……….but says a lot………………the people says not to waste power…………………but most of them are unaware of the odd that for every kWh we consume we are pumping 1kg of co2 to atmosphere……………….we should take well care of this in country like india where more than 80% of power comes from thermal power plants (or we can say coal or carbon power plants)…………………..if u want to make god happy ………make surroundings happy…………………….go green………………..
Look at Bhathinda.. Apart from getting constant strikes, the Thermal Power Plant has made Bhathinda the city of ashes.
this is all demand and supply rule…………..if govt is unable to give electricity then people says that govt is doing noting………..
ma point is we should not waste power in lighting houses unnecessarily……….moreover we should not make ourselves so comfortable that we are unable to bear climatic changes………………summers ac’s are on entering rooms and they are left on sometime when there is no one in room…………….lights, fans , heaters(in winters) motors, pc’s , chargers , almost everyting is consuming power for no reason……………….this was ma point of view…………………we are destroying power and we are destroying environment unknowingly……………………….
beautiful :)
Indeed
