Leopard in Black and White was photographed in Jhalana Sanctuary. Summer Temperature during the day can be up to 45+ Degree Celsius. Animals at this time of year stay close to water, the leopard is also one of them. This young female stays on a small hill close to an Artificial Waterhole. There is very little water in this region of Rajasthan so the forest dept makes artificial ponds and refill them. She comes down usually in the evening and […]
Updated Image on 23 Oct 2024. Tiger Portrait of Matkasur in Tadoba. Matkasur is the name of this handsome young male tiger from Tadoba National Park. I was awestruck the first time I saw him. Sitting just in front of another vehicle ahead of mine. The light was beautiful and this animal was handsome beyond doubt. The vehicle in front of me was positioned such that i could only shoot a close portrait although I would have also loved to […]
A male tiger walking in open meadows is a wildlife photographers delight. A male tiger walking straight towards you even for a few seconds exceeds that delight. I had just such a sighting when i was recently on my wildlife photo tour of kanha. This tiger was there just for a few seconds literally and moved again to the meadow on the right. With all the other vehicles moving around, my own vehicle reversing, its easy to mess this. Some […]

Shot this tiger as it was passing through the forest, a small patch of light gave a spotlight effect, in Bandhavgarh national park. I love the drama created by light and shadows here.
Gaur (Male) often referred wrongly as bisons, these are some of the largest oxen species in the world. Males often grow very huge and muscular, its a site to see. This one from Bandipur National Park.
This was shot near the Kabini backwaters in Nagarhole National Park, this was in the rainy season so every thing was lush green and it was raining slightly, fortunately the gypsy (a commonly used 4×4 vehicle in indian forest) was covered so i could take these photos in the rain. The Kabini Backwaters is one of the best places to photograph Asiatic elephants. In summers the backwater is the place to be if you want to photograph Indian or Asiatic […]
