World is full of beautiful and artistic places, usually its nature that gives us breathtaking views but sometimes it is us who creates miracles without even knowing. India itself has so many undiscovered places and among one such place is Nimbahera ( located in Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan).

Nimbahera which is not a very prominent place among tourists mainly because it is not very well explored by many, gives a surprisingly unique view. A small town surrounded by Industries gives a phenomenal view after sunsets when all those cement towers light up under the bright stars, looking no less that a dream land.

A student Shubham Kumawat , who lives and admires his small yet vibrant town captured this beautiful view of towers.
