B2 noun

परिदृश्य

paridrishya

When you look around and see all the things that make up an area, like mountains, trees, and rivers, you are seeing the परिदृश्य.

It's like a picture of the land. So, if you are in a beautiful place, you might say, "What a lovely परिदृश्य!"

It helps us talk about how a place looks.

When you're describing what you see around you in a general sense, like the view from a mountain or the scenery along a road, you can use परिदृश्य (paridrishya).

It's a good word to use when you're talking about the overall appearance of an area, whether it's natural or includes man-made elements.

Think of it as a comprehensive term for 'landscape' or 'scenery'.
