  Dilipsinh Chudasama
Bhagyashree Masurkar
Dressed in their best, this crew of biker women were ready to take the streets of Mumbai by storm.
  Bhagyashree Masurkar

  Tathagata Ghosh
Shreenivas Yenni
By boat is the simplest way to commute for those who call Kerala's backwaters home.
  Shreenivas Yenni
Ayan Banerjee
Every day spent on the move brings with it a roller coaster of emotions—and the urban monotony is broken with this pop of yellow in Kolkata.
  Ayan Banerjee
Ankit Sharma
Sunset explorations of Sam Sand Dunes on camel-back also lead to stunning silhouettes.
  Ankit Sharma
Sharat Mathew
On the train journey from Thiruvananthapuram to Ernakulam, the photographer met these curious children—faces glued to the open windows, trying to drink in as much of the world passing by as they could.
  Sharat Mathew
Deepro Biswas 2
Watching boats carrying tourists on the move by the 17th-century Murud Janjira Fort is almost like being caught in a time warp. Subhabrata Biswas captured today's daily shot in Raigad.
  Subhabrata Biswas
Deepro Biswas 1
A popping bright wall and multi-hued umbrella seize the sunny mood in Kalighat. Deepro Biswas captured locals on the move, unfazed by Kolkata's heat.

Deepro Biswas
Maneuvering rocky terrains on the Manali-Leh highway, a truck braves #GataLoops' 21 hairpin bends, about 25 kilometres from Sarchu.
  Prajakta Jadhav
Debraj Das 1
With a boat saddled across their shoulders, a group of fishermen emerge from New Digha beach with their morning catch. Subhasish Chakraborty captured today's daily shot in West Bengal.
  Subhasish Chakraborty
Yugant Arora
Counting houseboats on the move in the backwaters of Alleppey is the perfect coastal pastime pleasure.
  Yugant Arora
Subhash Purohit
Limited seating is no bar for this vehicle on the move in Bhuj; there is always room for one more.
  Subhash Purohit
Etta Talwar
En route to Basgo Monastery in Ladakh, the Magnetic Hills along Leh-Srinagar highway appear to swallow cars on the move.
  Etta Talwar
Subir Dutta
A passenger train runs on the Pamban bridge in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, parallel to the eponymous roadway, over the Arabian Sea. Subir Dutta captured this unique frame of land and water for today's daily shot.
  Subir Dutta
Dhruv Verma 1
A cable car ride in Uttarakhand provides tourists with views of the snow-dusted Nanda Devi and the Garhwal Himalayas. Dhruv Verma captured today's daily shot while trekking up the Auli slopes.
  Dhruv Verma
Sowjanya Machiraju
A tonga on the move at Nagaon beach near Alibaug paints a picnic-perfect picture. Sowjanya Machiraju captured this shot of tourists silhouetted against a tangerine sunset.
  Sowjanya Machiraju
Pranav Mutha
Coracles are as much a part of Hampi's history as its ruins. Sailing across the Tungabhadra river in these circular boats is an exciting way to experience the town on the move.
  Pranav Mutha
Sandip Dey 1
Hand-pulled rickshaws have a complicated existence, but are still some old-timers preferred way to be on the move in parts of Kolkata.
  Sandip Dey
Davide Ragusa
While window seats give way to picturesque views, to a bystander on a train platform, each frame reveals a different story. A stopover at Goa's Madgaon Junction railway station allowed Davide Ragusa to capture the many moods of passengers on the move.
  Davide Ragusa
Freya Stockman
Sailing in a hot air balloon ride over the Aravalli range on the outskirts of Jaipur makes for a memorable flight at dawn. Freya Stockman captured today's on the move photo at over 1,000 feet.
  Freya Stockman
Siddharth Nagrale
What better way to soak in the Thar Desert than a camel ride through the undulating dunes?
  Siddharth Nagrale
Shikha Sood
Mumbai beats to the pulse of a rush-hour train commute. Shikha Sood captured locals on the move at the busy CSMT railway station.
  Shikha Sood
Anupam Dhote 1
Learning to ride a bicycle jogs up fond childhood memories—the muddier the roads, the better.
  Anupam Dhote
Anil Gopi
The daily commute takes many forms in India. For these villagers residing in Lakshwadeep's Kadamath island, a boat journey over the delicate coral ecosystem is the only way to transport both people and goods.
  Anil Gopi
Chirag Titiya
What makes a graduation trip with friends an ultimate journey? A biking expedition across ice-slicked roads of Lahaul in Himachal Pradesh.
  Chirag Titiya
Jobit George
Long train journeys are often as much about studying characters you share space with as the scenery from the window seat. The city’s western suburb of Bandra has innumerable lanes and by-lanes swathed in colourful graffiti. Chapel Road, a street that goes from narrow to narrower, has vibrant murals—many Bollywood themed. Mumbai is, after all, the epicentre of an over 100-year-old film industry.
  Jobit George
Meeta Meher
Life in rural India moves at a relaxing pace. En route Vishramgad Fort near Nashik, Meeta Meher photographed this photo of villagers on the move in a bullock cart.
  Meeta Meher
Vikram Ramachandran 2
The crystal clear waters of the Umngot River in Dawki make it seem like this man is rowing through an illusionary river. Today's daily shot was clicked by Vikram Ramachandran.
  Vikram Ramachandran
Titus John
The Nilgiri Mountain Railway remains one of the most scenic railways in the country, and Titus John captured the train puffing through the tea plantations of Coonoor.
  Titus John
Hemanth Sabbella
Window seats are the most coveted—and why not, when the countryside charms all passengers like in this bus in Manipal.
  Hemanth Sabbella
