Hello shoaib,
It seems that the photos of Kashmir show the web site name of
www.peterlanger.com because the Peter Langer Associated Media Group
does not want people to use the photos without permission.
If you look at the bottom of the page of photos, you will see a link
called "Copyright & Legal". If you click that link, you can read
Peter Langer's protection of its copyright in the photos.
"Peter Langer Copyright"
Peter Langer - Associated Media Group
http://www.peterlanger.com/copyright.htm
Thus, the inclusion of the web site name in the photos apparently
means that Peter Langer is protecting its copyright in the photos.
I hope that this information is helpful.

justaskscott-ga researcher thanks for your beautiful answer but
please note that you said the 'inclusion of the web site name in
the photos of Kashmir apparently means that Peter Langer is
protecting its copyright in the photos' but I want to mention that
it does not mean that those photos of Kashmir shown are
'original' and those photos of Kashmir shown 'might' be the
'fakes', so therefore I want to know that what is the "proof"
for that so that I shall be able to purchase all those
2177 paid photos of Kashmir which are for sale? Please
note that I have asked that question because I do not want
to be deceived later on after purchase of those photos by
coming to know that all those 2177 paid photos of Kashmir
shown were fakes and those photos were not original.
Thanks for your help from Shoaib.

I don't think I can provide definitive proof that the Peter Langer
photos are original. However, it does appear that Peter Langer is
really a photographer, and that he has really taken photos of Kashmir,
as well as other places. Here are two web pages that indicate this:
"Kashmir: Between Heaven and Hell" (Winter 2002) [Peter Langer credit
for photo on 4th page of the PDF file, which is page 23 of the
magazine]
Creighton University Magazine
http://www.creightonmagazine.org/Files/winter_2002/kashmir.pdf
"Impressions of Asia"
Vancouver Asian Heritage Month Society

Your request for clarification asks a different question from the
original question -- what the web site name on the photos means --
which I hope I answered to your satisfaction. Perhaps you should open
a new question to see if someone can answer whether there is a method
to judge whether these photos (or photos in general) are original or
fakes.
The only proof I know of in this case is that a cropped version of the
second photo of Srinigar on
http://www.peterlanger.com/Countries/Asia/Kashmir/ is reprinted in
http://www.creightonmagazine.org/Files/winter_2002/kashmir.pdf , as I
cited it in my first clarification. Presumably the magazine was able
to successfully obtain this photo from the Peter Langer Associated
Media Group, since it attributes the photo to Peter Langer Associated
Media Group, and since the photo is not blocked by the Peter Langer
web site name.
