Crowds are flocking to a sprawling white marble waste dump in northwestern India, attracted by the site’s otherworldly appearance. The dump in Kishangarh -- a major marble-processing hub -- is coated in a white slurry, the byproduct of marble and granite block cutting and polishing, which has given the area its seemingly snow-covered appearance and deep blue pools of water. While visually striking, the scene is the result of uncontrolled marble waste disposal, which poses a threat to both health and the environment.
