After having the glimpses of the Palkhi and few hundred thousand devotees’ walk from the Pune city’s famous Lakadi bridge during the Friday evenings, we were eager to shoot this procession when it passes through the swirling spins of the Diveghat on the Saswad road, which is the most difficult patch of the Palkhi wari in its 22 days, 300 odd kilometers long walk from Alandi to Pandhapur.

Nothing for sure matches the thrill to face the Royal Bengal Tiger in the wilds.
Just imagine you are sitting in an open Gypsy, and the only weapon in your hand is a camera; you see a tiger and it slowly starts walking towards you; 250kgs, 3.5 m of sheer muscle mass!!! You are definitely within his leap and it keeps coming closer and closer to you. With every single step it takes, you are heart beats ten times faster. The tiger has no business with you and slowly walks past you while you are gasping for breath; you wait and watch it disappear in jungle. At this very moment you are just left overwhelmed!!
