In the dry forests of Gir, an Asiatic lioness stands alert, her gaze fixed on unseen movement ahead. Beneath her protective frame, a tiny cub peeks out, curiosity and caution in its eyes. This fleeting moment captures the essence of motherhood in the wild—strength, vigilance, and the quiet bond between generations of one of the world’s rarest big cats.

Through my photography, I aim to tell compelling stories, inspire conservation, and bring people closer to wildlife. Every frame I capture reflects patience, passion, and respect for nature.
