[Edit: Solved! Thanks @ai6yr, @headfirstonly, and @pmisson! I had thought the ISS was too far inland for it to be the coast.]
Dear Hive Mind: This photo shows two cities in India, but I don't know which they are. I would like to know out which they are so that I can figure out what all the bright dots in the image are. The original image (with much higher resolution) is here: https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=ISS074&roll=E&frame=88443
I am not sure which way is North, the image may be rotated. Are any of you familiar enough with Indian cities to work it out?
The #InternationalSpaceStation was over 18.9° N, 76.9° E when the photo was taken, but it is probably not taken directly downward.
