This is the first glimpse into my world. Each photograph and story here is a result of decades spent in the Indian jungles, observing, learning, and documenting the lives of its magnificent creatures. These are not just pictures; they are invitations to understand the deep connection between our wildlife and our culture, a theme that is the soul of my writing and public talks.
The Peacock: A Study in Behaviour
Here, I document the daily life and complex behaviours of India's national bird, a subject I have studied for over a decade. This collection showcases their dramatic territorial fights, intricate courtship dances, and the quiet, often-missed moments of their lives in the wilderness of Delhi.
In the Realm of the Tiger
My journeys have frequently led me into the domain of the Royal Bengal Tiger, our national animal. This collection contains some of my most memorable encounters, documenting their family lives, their majestic presence, and the critical conservation stories that I share in my writing.
Wildlife & Indian Culture
Our festivals, stories, and beliefs are deeply connected to the wild. In this collection, I explore these sacred links, from the Neelkanth of Dussehra to the peacock's place in our mythology. These images are the foundation for my talks on India's unique cultural ecology.
Expressions of Affection
The animal world is full of moments of tenderness, care, and deep connection. This collection captures the quiet, intimate bonds between pairs and families, from a peahen grooming her mate to a mother sheltering her young. These stories reveal a softer side of the wild.
The Mating Game: Debunking Myths
For years, a popular myth has persisted about how peafowls reproduce. Through my lens, I present the truth of their mating rituals, capturing these rarely seen moments of procreation for various species. My work aims to replace folklore with factual, first-hand observation.
Avian World: Beyond the Peacock
While the peacock is magnificent, India is home to a vast diversity of other bird species. This collection showcases some of them, from the devoted Hornbill to the acrobatic Golden Oriole. Each has a unique story that I enjoy telling through my photographs and articles.
From the Field: Talks & Exhibitions
Sharing my experiences is as important as having them. This collection offers a behind-the-scenes look at my public work, including solo photo exhibitions, collaborations, and media interactions. These events allow me to bring the stories of the jungle directly to you.
Additional Wildlife Encounters
The jungle is full of countless stories waiting to be told. This collection features other fascinating animals I have encountered on my journeys, along with a glimpse of the safari experience that makes these photographs and stories possible.
