Very beautiful and technically well done.

Though as a joint map AND history nerd I'm obliged to say that with the addition of Myanmar and the exclusion of Sri Lanka, this is actually a map of the old British Raj, not the Indian Subcontinent.

The map was made with Python using rasterio to read the data and earthpy/matplotlib to plot the data.

What's the color scale on this? Can you repost with a color bar?

Awesome work!

Any chance you can add 'legend' as well ? Whites usually represent snow and blue reperesents water generally.

It's a contour map. There is no white

Why are the plains colored white and the mountains colored green? Most of the green part on this map is mountains of Nepal and India.

It's a topographical map, which traditionally use colour to represent elevation, darker colours usually being higher and lighter colours being lower.
