POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Mugger crocodile
& Chandrasel Math
Some places keep calling you back—not just because of their history, but because of the life they continue to nurture.
For me, Chandresal Math and the Chandraloi River have always been inseparable. Nearly a thousand years ago, Naga ascetics established this sacred monastery and the Chandreshwar Mahadev Temple on the peaceful banks of the Chandraloi, transforming it into a center of meditation and spiritual learning. Even today, its ancient stones whisper stories of a glorious past.
Yet, it is the river that keeps bringing me here.
The Chandraloi, a quiet tributary of the Chambal, has become one of the finest natural refuges for the Mugger Crocodile in the Kota region. After the Chambal dams altered the river's natural breeding banks, these ancient reptiles found safety in the calm waters of the Chandraloi. Today, this seemingly modest river shelters an astonishing number of Muggers, especially during the breeding season.
Over time, local villagers have also learned to respect this unique ecosystem, making the Chandraloi a remarkable example of peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife.
As I share these landscape photographs today, I see more than an ancient monastery or a beautiful river. I see a place where history, faith, and nature have flourished together for centuries. Chandresal Math and the Chandraloi River together reveal a unique face of Kota—one that deserves recognition as both a heritage treasure and an extraordinary destination for eco-tourism.

World Snake Day 2026 | The Silent Guardians of Hadoti
Indian Cobra
With the arrival of the monsoon, the landscapes of Hadoti—stretching across Kota, Bundi, Baran, and Jhalawar—awaken to one of nature's most misunderstood yet indispensable inhabitants: snakes. Hidden beneath forest canopies, gliding through fertile farmlands, sheltering among ancient rocks, and thriving along the banks of the Chambal River, these remarkable reptiles quietly uphold the delicate balance of life. From the majestic Indian Rock Python, the agile Indian Rat Snake, Checkered Keelback, Buff-striped Keelback, Common Trinket Snake, Bronzeback Tree Snake, and Red Sand Boa to the legendary "Big Four" venomous species—the Indian Cobra, Common Krait, Russell's Viper, and Saw-scaled Viper—each plays a vital ecological role in the rich biodiversity of the Hadoti region. They are nature's most efficient pest controllers, regulating rodent populations that would otherwise devastate crops, spread disease, and threaten food security. At the same time, snakes form an essential link in the food web, sustaining raptors, mongooses, mammals, and countless other predators, making them true architects of a healthy ecosystem. Yet, despite their immense ecological value, they remain victims of fear, myths, and misinformation, with countless individuals killed every year simply because they are misunderstood. The truth is that most snakes avoid human encounters and strike only when left with no alternative. Their presence is not a warning of danger but a powerful indicator of a thriving and resilient environment. On this World Snake Day, let us replace fear with understanding, superstition with science, and hostility with respect. By protecting snakes and preserving their natural habitats, we safeguard not only an extraordinary group of reptiles but also the forests, farmlands, rivers, and ecosystems that sustain every form of life.

Indian Pitta (Pitta brachyura)
With the arrival of the monsoon, the forests awaken to a beautiful natural symphony. Among the many voices that fill the air are the enchanting calls of migratory birds such as the Common Cuckoo and the Indian Pitta, both of which arrive with the rains. Today, I am delighted to share these photographs of the magnificent Indian Pitta, captured in Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve, where this vibrant bird not only visits during the monsoon but also breeds. The rainy season provides an abundance of insects, ensuring a rich food supply for raising its young. Known for its melodious two-note whistle—often described as "wieet-pyou" or "whee-tiou"—the Indian Pitta's call instantly reveals its presence deep within the forest, adding a magical rhythm to the monsoon landscape. Fondly called Navranga, meaning "the bird of nine colours," its dazzling plumage makes it one of India's most spectacular forest birds. Every sighting and every note of its song is a reminder that the monsoon is not just a season of rain—it is a season of renewal, life, and new beginnings in the wild.

मेरी जिंदगी का वह दिन जिसे मैं कभी नहीं भूल सकता— मैंने पहली बार अपनी आंखों से 'चीता' देखा। इससे पहले मैंने उन्हें सिर्फ टीवी चैनलों पर या किताबों की तस्वीरों में देखा था, लेकिन सामने से उन्हें देखना बिल्कुल अलग अनुभव था।
वह जादुई पल जैसे ही मेरी नजर उस पर पड़ी, मेरी धड़कनें थम सी गईं। वह दूर पेड़ के नीचे शांति से बैठा था, लेकिन उसकी मौजूदगी ही पूरे वातावरण में एक अलग ऊर्जा भर रही थी। उसकी सुनहरी खाल पर बने काले धब्बे सूरज की रोशनी में किसी कलाकृति की तरह चमक रहे थे। उसकी सतर्क आँखें मानो आसपास की हर हलचल को बहुत बारीकी से भांप रही थीं। सच कहूँ तो, उस समय मेरे मन में डर से ज्यादा एक गहरा सम्मान था। उसे इतने करीब से देखना मुझे यह अहसास करा रहा था कि इंसान चाहे कितनी भी तरक्की कर ले, प्रकृति की इन अद्भुत रचनाओं के सामने हम कितने छोटे हैं। न कोई शोर था, न कोई हलचल, बस मैं और वह शानदार जीव।

Asian Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi)
Some birds are admired for their beauty, but the Asian Paradise Flycatcher seems as if it has descended straight from nature's imagination. With its graceful flight, silky white plumage, glossy black crested head, vivid blue eye-ring, and those breathtaking ribbon-like tail streamers flowing behind, it creates a sight that leaves every observer spellbound.
Yet, its beauty is only part of its story. Beneath this elegant appearance lies a devoted partner and a caring parent. During the breeding season, pairs form strong monogamous bonds, sharing every responsibility—from weaving their delicate nest and patiently incubating the eggs to tirelessly feeding and protecting their chicks until they take their very first flight into the world.
The male may captivate with his spectacular display and enchanting calls, but it is the unwavering partnership between both parents that truly defines this remarkable species. In a world where survival often demands relentless effort, the Asian Paradise Flycatcher reminds us that nature's greatest masterpieces are not only painted in feathers and colors, but also in love, trust, and shared responsibility.
