You can always take pictures indoors

This one doesn't look too bad but perhaps you could crop it down to a square, with the edge of the ruined building running diagonally across the frame?

Another thing rain does is to make distant hills fade to grey very noticeably. You can see this to the right of your image - there is not enough to make much of it in this shot but I imagine you might be able to play with that more in this landscape.

akshatrathi,

Another aspect of your shot that could give it weight is to sit the building on the ground. Without enough foreground or area under the structure, it looks disconnected, not stable. By backing up a few steps, you could also have those terrific hills wulf pointed out, more in the shot.

Which place is this Akash? I can close my eye and visualize what JS and Wulf said, there are so many ancient ruins in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra with such backdrops.

Well it's akshat, subrataofkris.

This is in the a Tribakeshwar area of Nashik. The place where Kumbh Mela takes place. Hope that helps.
