WLM is an upcoming photo competition, part of the bigger Wiki Loves Monuments 2016. We welcome you all to be part of it, as participants and as volunteers. Rules, regulations and more information about the competition will be available soon.

Concept

The basic concept is that people are invited to upload images of monumental objects under a free license for usage on Wikipedia. We want to try to get complete lists of these monuments on Wikipedia, including photos - giving a great and unique overview of the cultural heritage in each country. This, in turn, will also help complete many articles relating to India.

This page is intended to help coordinate the Indian component to the 2016 Wiki Loves Monuments. If you want to volunteer, please feel free to add your name below!
