 Like
oil lamps flickering in the wind, the world's tiger
population is unhurriedly being snuffed out. Several books
and literature have been produced to describe the most
intriguing, the most powerful and the most majestic of all
animals. The Hindu tradition and culture have a place of
honor and worship for tiger. In India people had added
Singh, Sher and Nahar on their names to upgrade their class.
Yet people have been incredibly scant to the cause of the
tiger. This web site aims in graphics, pictures and prose to
advance the level of wakefulness and concern for this
mythical and secretive striped beauty that placidly roams
the jungles.
 The
tiger is not the only attraction at Ranthambhor although it
is the one park resident people come to see. We were lucky
to see several varieties of birds including these owlets
peering through their burrow pictured here on the right and
of course the ubiquitous langur monkey. Other animals in the
reserve include leopard, caracal, hyena, jackal, jungle
cat, marsh crocodiles, wild boar, bears and
various species of deer.
