Need a general pic of and indian village

Description

India is a vast, culturally diverse country and the maximum population resides in the villages. the project seeks to develop a structure that helps to visualize the opportunity areas in villages. Christopher Alexander’s study of Indian villages formed a base of the project. The activities, lifestyle, infrastructures, resources in a village were deeply studied to form patterns. These patterns were then translated into a visual language structure that highlights the areas of opportunity in village.
