The story

Early morning in Munnar's tea hills: a traveller stops on the estate path with a steaming cup of tea, the slope behind combed with waist-high clipped rows, pluckers with baskets on their heads at work among them, silver oaks standing over the rows and mist lying in the valley below Anamudi.

Why this picture

Munnar's slopes, high in the Western Ghats where three streams meet, have been planted with tea since 1880: waist-high bushes clipped flat into rows that follow the contours, with tall silver oaks for shade, under Anamudi (2,695 m), the highest peak in South India. Mist lifts out of the valleys on cool mornings after the rains, when the tea is greenest; the leaves are plucked by hand into baskets.

The sky wears Khovar, from Hazaribagh, Jharkhand.

The motion

A flock of birds crosses the whole sky; the silver oaks sway; the pluckers' hands pick at the bush tops; steam curls off the tea; the sun's rays turn. A 16-second loop.

Another moment in Munnar

A second scene: another true moment at Munnar, drawn in the graphic vocabulary with the animals and city symbols that belong there. Wide for screens, tall for a phone held upright.

The story

A clear morning on the Rajamalai grassland of Eravikulam: close to the camera a Nilgiri tahr stands on its rock above the park road, more tahr graze the rolling grass behind, and a traveller on the road stops to photograph them, with shola copses in the folds and Anamudi rising beyond the ridges.

Why this moment

Eravikulam National Park, 15 km from Munnar, protects the largest population of the endangered Nilgiri tahr; in its Rajamalai zone the tahr graze the open montane grassland and rock outcrops beside the road, used to visitors, with Anamudi (2,695 m, the highest peak in India south of the Himalaya) behind and dark shola forest in the valley folds. The park is open from April to January, and spotting the tahr is among Munnar's top things to do.

The sky wears Gond scales, from Madhya Pradesh.

The motion

Clouds cross the sky over Anamudi; the herd grazes, heads dipping, the far tahr wandering along the slope; the sun's rays turn. A 16-second loop.

Munnar in symbols

Beside its icon, the things that are Munnar, drawn in the Brand Manual's city language: a monument in the city grey with its openings cut, the things of the place in flat landscape colours. Each comes in colour and in the city grey. Every place's symbols

Nilgiri tahrOf the place
The Nilgiri tahr, Kerala's state animal: Eravikulam National Park above Munnar holds its largest herd (about 840 in 2025) — a stocky wild goat, both sexes with short horns curving back, the old males dark with a pale saddle.

An estate jeepOf the place
Munnar's estate jeeps: modified 4x4s, six riders at a time, the only way up the 12 km of rough estate road to Kolukkumalai, the highest tea estate in the world (about 2,170 m), for its sunrise above the clouds.

An old tea factoryMonument
Munnar's estate tea factories, where the Kanan Devan Hills' leaf has been withered, rolled, fermented and dried since the 1880s: long timber-and-iron buildings of withering lofts, the oldest kept as the KDHP Tea Museum at Nallathanni (opened 2004, its roller of 1905).
