Tiger The Pulse of Indian Jungles
It all began in Ranthambore, 2018 — our first serious tiger sightings. What followed since has been a journey of awe, chance, patience, and an ever-growing bond with the striped monarchs. Each jungle has its own tiger tale, and for us, each frame is a story etched into memory.
Ranthambore – The Beginning (2018)
- Our initiation into the world of tigers.
- 10 sightings in just 3 safaris — nothing short of magic.
- Noor: the epochal tigress — first alone, then with her cubs. She gifted us our first glimpse of tiger motherhood, fierce and tender at once.
Tadoba – The Legend of Chota Matka
- The mighty Chota Matka, embodiment of authority.
- His daughters — photographed in separate frames — carried his legacy of strength, each with her own personality emerging in the jungle.
Pench – The Sleepy Monarch
- We waited, cameras ready.
- He slept.
- That, in itself, was a lesson —the king doesn’t always have to perform; he owns the stage even in slumber.
Umred – The Tentative Youngster
- A young tigress, pacing.
- Restless not because of prey, but because of us humans, the tourists.
- A sharp reminder —our awe should never turn into intrusion.
Tipeshwar – Playtime Royals
- A brother-sister pair of sub-adults — tumbling, playing, sparring.
- Their innocence made us rejoice —the jungle turned into a playground before our eyes.
- The dominant Veer, lazily crossed the road, before giving us the Look!
Satpura – The Dream Shot
- First, the jackpot: five in one frame — father, mother, and three daughters.
- The night before: the son, solitary at the water, lapping in silence.
- For me, this wasthe dream frame come alive — a whole family saga written in stripes.
Ranthambore – Restless Cub
- A tiny body with oversized confidence, moving nonstop.
- The forest was a playground; every sound a new adventure.
- A restless heart learning its stripes.
Satpura – The mom lets dad work hard
- She watched from the shade while he patrolled the scene.
- Calm, composed, completely unbothered.
- A queen who knew exactly when to let the king do the heavy lifting.
Tipeshwar – The Lazy Walk
- A tiger strolling like the forest belonged only to him.
- Unhurried steps, no intention of performing.
- Sometimes the wild speaks softly — even in a lazy walk.
Closing Thought
From Noor in Ranthambore to the restless tigress in Umred, every tiger has shaped not just our photography, but our philosophy. They’ve taught us patience, humility, and respect — for the wild, and for life itself.
