About SHOVNA

Welcome to my photography journey—a journey that began as an escape from the chaos of the concrete jungle, but somewhere in the wilderness, I found my calling.Born on the banks of the holy Ganga and brought up in the lap of the Himalayas, life took me to Bhutan, the United Kingdom and Thailand before I settled in Delhi. But the forests of Uttarakhand and their tigers kept calling. Eventually, I left the city and built my home beside the Gaula River, lovingly naming it Paar, after Paarwali, my favourite tigress of Corbett. Paar is now, quite simply - my home.My journey into wildlife photography began in 2011 with my first DSLR and a trip to Kaziranga. Soon after, encounters with Bamera and the one-eyed tigress Kankatti in Bandhavgarh awakened a fascination for tigers that would change my life.Then, in Ranthambhore, I met T17. She walked towards our vehicle, lifted her head and looked straight into my eyes. That one look seemed to pierce my heart and reach my soul. I followed its pull—and have never looked back.Since then, I have travelled across India following the majestic stripes. Wildlife photography is no longer something I do; it is my happiness, my joy, my pride and my way of life.Thank you for stopping by and sharing a little of my wild world.
