A waterfall adjoining one of my study sites in the Southern Western Ghats, India.





I have an immense passion for nature, especially obsessed about reptiles and amphibians. Exploring the natural world is one of my favorite activities since my childhood, and I enjoy observing animals in their natural setting. You can find a collection of photographs taken during my field visits on this page.



Favorite quote
"It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living"
- Sir David Attenborough
