About Photographer
I am an autodidact photographer with good patience and passion towards nature. The journey of photography started with a beginner's camera exploring the aesthetics of nature. Initiated with the love of nature then turned into passion for wildlife photography without my knowledge.
Photography led me to learn and explore the habitats of species in nature and to explore the locations for specific species. I enjoy my passion and love being a part of nature.
Wild Love of the Lions When lions are courting, lionesses often does the twirling and puzzles his mate by moving away just when the lion is about to mate. Just before the couple was about to mate, they looked towards the grazing deers at a distance giving me a chance to take this shot before engaging in their wild love.
The picture was taken in Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary in Spiti this February 2022. After waiting for almost nine hours in a single spot finally this female snow leopard moves and gave me chance to capture some action. Capturing a snow leopard walking in snow is something I cherished for a long time.

I took this photograph from Kaziranga National Park, Assam. During that time, a forest fire occurred, I think this may burn primarily as a surface fire, spreading along the ground as the surface litter (senescent leaves and twigs and dry grasses, etc) on the forest floor and is engulfed by the spreading flames. Or it may occur naturally. Certain plants and animals have evolved to depend on periodic wildfires for ecological balance. I see one Mother Rhino and her child eating grass without any fear.

About Photographer
I'm a Civil Engineer by profession and working in govt. sector over five years. I was always close to nature since childhood. Trees, flowers, insects, birds always attracted me . Though there was no camera then in my hand , I felt pleasure to sit alone away from crowds since that time. Finally at the end of 2020 I bought my first camera and started nature & wildlife photography. People say once you are in the field of birdwatching, there is never going back. So I am more into birdwatching , birdphotography now and I feel amazing in this new world. I am learning more and more day by day about birds and wildlife and also gaining some photography skills .
Gear : Nikon D7500 with 200-500 mm.
On the day 25 Nov'22 when we entered the Jungle of Sundarban we saw a fresh pug mark of 6 tigers in one island one place. We understand that two sub Adult cub of Tigress Choti Maa entered Tigress Bari Maa's territory and they were followed. Our tensed thoughts became true and we saw the young sub Adult cub was chesed by Bari Maa's previous male cub. When he mange to return his territory we got his aggresive moment. It's show that may he fall back but in future he will again come and claim his own territory.
