Conserve today for a wilder tomorrow.

For four years, a wildlife photographer embarked on a labour of love, travelling to the most remote and breathtaking corners of the globe to capture the essence of the natural world. With each click of the shutter, she poured her heart and soul into freezing moments of beauty, drama, and intimacy of wilderness. The result is a stunning collection of images that reveals the intricate web of life that binds us all to nature.
From the golden light of Masai Mara, in Kenya to the lush forests of Pench, Tadoba, Panna, and Jhalana, in India; this photographic journey is a deeply personal exploration of the human experience. It’s a testament to the power of connection – between species, habitats, and us. The camera lens becomes an extension of the photographer’s inner eye, witnessing nature’s magic with wonder, curiosity, and compassion.
As you step into the exhibition, on display from January 8 to 20, 2025, you will be transported into the heart of the wild. You will walk alongside majestic creatures, feel the rush of the wind, and sense the pulse of the earth. You will be reminded that we are not separate from nature, but an intimate part of it – connected, interdependent, and responsible.
The photographer’s journey is our journey, a reflection of our place within the natural world. It’s an invitation to slow down, observe, conserve and preserve, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. And as we gaze upon these breathtaking images, we are reminded of the transformative power of photography to inspire, educate, and connect us all.

In the words of Madhur Nangai, “Having my wildlife journey displayed at the prestigious India International Centre in New Delhi is both a humbling and motivating experience. It marks a culmination of my dedication to photography over the past 10 years, and it’s deeply rewarding to see my work being shared with others. Through this exhibition, the message I want to convey is simple yet powerful: to appreciate all living beings equally and give them the space and respect they deserve in our world. I hope to inspire viewers to recognize the beauty and importance of every creature, no matter how small or elusive. Additionally, I want to shed light on the often unexplored, yet equally beautiful, dimensions of our planet. My photographs aim to open eyes to the wonders of nature that are sometimes overlooked, encouraging a deeper connection with the wild and a greater sense of responsibility toward preserving it.”
The wildlife photography exhibition at India International Centre, running from January 8th to 20th, is a must-visit for all nature lovers. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness the breathtaking beauty of our planet’s wildlife through the photographer’s lens.
