@MikeG Your identification of the Cygnus Star Cloud tells us rather more about OP's equipment than he has.

I have already tried Stellarium app, and a website but couldn't find out that what part of the night sky I'm actually looking at in the given picture...

Can you add some information about equipment? Was this taken through a telescope (a small field of view) or a camera with a long or short focal length or a cell phone? Any information that helps understand the scale of the image would be helpful. Also, the location is useful but can you also add some information about the direction? Is this looking straight up, or in some direction (North, South, East, West etc.)?  *Thanks!*

Well the picture is taken through a cell phone in an area where there is almost no light pollution, it's a hilly area. I wish I knew about the direction but I don't. Sorry

If you can identifying one single constellation in the picture that would be enough...

Based on the epic answer below, you could summarize this: it's a photo of Vega.  (You should now go watch *Contact* !)
