Kutch

Kutch (also referred to as Kachchh) is a mystery land, not easy to comprehend. Its area cannot easily be covered, and it is greater in area than some Indian states of India. Spread over an area of over 45,000 km², it is the second largest district of the country (next to Ladakh) and the largest in Gujarat. More than half of its area consists of saline marsh of the Great and Little Ranns (pronounced run) of Kutch which bound the district on the north and east which virtually makes Kutch an island -- the other sides bounded by the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Kutch. The border with Pakistan lies along the northern edge of the Great Rann.

Here are some images from my September birding trip. I sincerely appreciate Jugal Tiwari (who runs CEDO) for showing me around the spectacular Kutch countryside.

Elephant camps

ramki@wildventures.com (ramki | leica photography) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:07:00 GMT

These are images from elephant camps which are typically in remote jungle locations. The community that takes care of these elephants are typically tribal and are completely committed to the elephants. These images are from Kozhikamuthi (Anamalais, Tamil Nadu), Sunkadakatte (Nagarhole, Karnataka) and Dubare (Coorg, Karnataka).

Bangalore

Finally a gallery of my very own city (not hometown though). A city that has put India firmly on the world map and is today the global IT capital. Getting Bangalored is a verb today (aka outsourcing!). Once a sleepy cantonment town meant for retirement, Bangalore today is wrestling between the old and the modern like most India metros.

Indian Countryside

Includes animals, roadside, food, general timepass, etc.

Naturescapes

These are landscapes in wild India though some are agricultural areas that border jungle. This gives a flavor of the diverse topography / habitat that exists in India.

Mumbai

Mumbai is the place in India for street photography. It's got serious life, character, contrasts, depth and variety. It's a pity that I never owned a camera in the 8-long years I stayed in Mumbai! I recently spent a weekend there and made these images.
