Are the businesses you added photos to still live on the map, can you link to any of them and post here. Can you post some of the photos? If photos don't appear in your contributions any more are they in your https://get.google.com/u/0/albumarchive/? If not you may have deleted all your images and in doing so removed them from the map

Were there Panoramio pictures or photos of landscapes etc (ie not of specific businesses)?

Hi @Ramnaths. Here's some information about how points are awarded and potentially removed:
Please take a look at "Your contributions" within Google Maps on desktop or on mobile to ensure all of your contributions are tied to a specific place or point of interest, as @Pea has noted (Thanks, Philip!). If you require further assistance, please tag me or another Google moderator in your response to ensure we see it.

Thnx 4 replying @TraciC @Pea .... The thing is We had a sort of a competetion going here in Kerala (india) and i did a fair bit of mapping.... when i logged on after 3months to add some new places which i found are missing from the maps i found that my entire points for photos .... ie like 1500 points removed. If i had lost say 100 points i can understand. The photos i uploaded were of good quality and was correct for the business (to the best of my knowledge). I recently got a mail that my pics were viewed 100,000 times. So i should gather my pics were good enough..... kindly do the needful and look into the atter....
Btw thanx a lot for your fast reply... 😄

Looking at your photo contributions tab https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115071223216821781234/photos/ you'll see that many say 'Unknown Place' this means the photo is no longer associated with a specific map listing. There are a couple of possible reasons for that. Either the business lost its listing or your photo was disassociated from the listing. In both circumstances you would have lost the point you gained.
You have described your photos as good quality but take a look at an example https://goo.gl/maps/oKn8D8iGB9z it is very dark, there's no obvious point of interest - you have used the exact same photo for two different businesses. if you read this guide https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/News-Updates/How-to-Upload-Great-Photos-to-Google-Maps/ba-p/98... you may be able to improve in some key areas
