Did you ever wonder where the color purple came from? Well, I found out! They dig it out of the ground at the purple mine in Nehon, Punjab, India.

Actually, I have no clue what's going on here. I think it is probably a mine of some sort. Isn't there some kind of ore that's purple?
Update November 2015. Google has updated their map and the purple coloration has gone bye-bye.

That is not a purple mine.
It's a grape jelly farm.
Well of course it is! How silly of me not to recognize it. (grin)
Bornite ( a copper ore) is purple.
There's a tin ore that's purple too.
Don't know what they mine in Nehon tho.
