My favourite type of lighting is backlit. When one gets to photograph their favourite subject in favourite lighting, it is a blessing. A blessed morning in Satpura.
Warmth in Togetherness; On a cold winter morning, deep inside thE bharatpur wetland, a group of monkeys huddled together for warmth. The elders wrapped their arms around the little ones, forming a tight circle of care and comfort. Even in the chill of the mist, their love kept them warm. It was a beautiful reminder that in nature, just like in our lives, staying close and caring for each other is the best way to face the cold. Place: Keoladeo National park, Bharatpur,Rajasthan,India

Reflection of Majesty A serene moment captured in Panna, May 2025, where a tiger pauses to drink from still waters, its reflection perfectly mirrored. This image highlights the elegance, tranquility, and magnificence of India’s iconic predator in its natural realm.
"Sculpted in Light" In the dense forests of Matheran, I encountered this Green Vine Snake—an elegant predator perfectly adapted to its surroundings. Using a controlled beam of artificial light, I aimed to sculpt its natural curves against the darkness, revealing its hypnotic gaze and fluid form while letting the rest fade into mystery. The image is a play of light and shadows, designed to highlight both the grace and the enigma of this arboreal reptile.

During the early morning hours at Keoladeo Ghana national park , Bharatpur went on to spot the Sarus cranes while waiting for it , observed from a distance 3 jackals emerged from the dense bushes and started to walk towards me which helped to take a head on with all 3 jackals. The Lighting was good so as I do not wanted to make close up portrait of the Jackal but to have a minimalistic composition showing the environment where I spotted these 3 jackals.

One morning in Kibber wildlife santuary we spotted a snow leopard asleep in the valley below. We waited till late evening before she decided to move. To our surprise she was joined by two of her cubs. I clicked this image while observing the two cubs play along with their mother.
About Photographer
As I was growing up somewhere along the the way my fondness for the wild and interest towards photography amalgamated, thus wildlife and nature photography became my Hobby and passion, and this thirst to capture the different species on this planet has enabled me to travel a very small bit of the world in search of the biodiverse wild, that includes the countries of Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia and India, and I still have a long list to cover.
Cuteness overloaded, an adorable baby elephant taking lessons to walk from parents – secured and safe. Is there anything cuter than seeing a newborn baby? Their big eyes, tiny size, and wobbly legs as they walk toward their mama, at least if the newborn in question is a baby elephant. Like many other species in the animal kingdom, baby elephants are able to walk almost immediately after they are born, and it’s adorable to see them in action. Secured and safe in the trunks of its parents right by its side to help out.
