“I orient my ears towards the rustle. In the distant foliage, I hear not a roar but a breath…”
That was Arjun Anand's first encounter with Hamir — the black and yellow prince of Ranthambore. A moment of dread, wonder, and surrender. What began as a chance meeting grew into an obsession: hours turned into weeks, weeks into years, as he followed him through the lens — watching him rise, fall, and rise again.
Today, on , we remember Hamir. Not just as a tiger, but as a force of nature — majestic, misunderstood, man-eater, ruler, and eventually, the fallen prince.
'Hamir – The Fallen Prince of Ranthambore' is the story of a beast, a forest, and a photographer — a journey that blurs the line between witness and participant in the raw, regal world of the wild.
