Wiki Loves Monuments 2012
Indians win in Wiki mega photo contest
Two photographs sent by Indians have won the first and sixth
places in what Guinness World Records has called the largest photo competition.
Called ‘Wiki Loves Monuments 2012!’ (WLM), the online competition was organised by Wikipedians all over the world. Pranav Singh’s photo of Safdarjung’s tomb in New Delhi secured the first place internationally while Narender Kumar’s photo of the Taj Mahal got the sixth place.
The two photos had been rated ninth and first respectively in the competition held at the India level. There is no free-to-use image of more than 99 per cent of monuments in India listed by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
