Another user wrote, "When the air clears, even the mountains find their way back, a poetic reminder of what clean environment and calm bring to life."

As India faces hard-hitting side-effects of an ongoing climate crisis, and such sights turn rarer with passing time, such sights are set as reminders of what a cleaner and greener world could contribute to.
