The winner of October’s Facebook Photo of the Month competition is Thibaut Pening, who entered this atmospheric image of puja at Varanasi. Congratulations Thibaut – the fans voted your photo as their favourite and you earn a £10 Amazon voucher.
We like to keep this monthly competition fresh, and with that in mind we are expanding it.
From November users of Twitter and Flickr will be able to take part directly.
Shortly we will be announcing our new month’s theme. Facebook users will be able to enter in the usual way, by uploading their image to the Mahindra Homestays page. Twitter users will be able to take part by linking to their photo and including a hashtag (eg #indiaphotonovember). Flickr users will be invited to submit their work into a pool that we will create for each month’s contest.
With over 1,400 uploaded photos since we began less than a year ago, this competition has been a great success and a pleasure to run.
We’re really excited about opening it up further and giving more India travellers the chance to take part.
Find out about the homestay experience and don't forget to check out our ideas on things to do in India or browse our India homestays.

Pic is really awesome but i don’t think it really deserves to get praised as truth is vanishing from it. Still good.

Conor – Great! Look forward to seeing what you have in your collection
Blank – Thanks for stopping by too. Yes, sometimes hard to choose, some perhaps are better technically but other voters select for a mix of reasons.
