Nitish Madan – an Indian wildlife photographer – has a soft spot for tigers. “I have a strange connection with them,” he told one media outlet. “When I see one, I just can’t take my eyes off it. They ooze power and magnetism and are breathtaking to see in the wild. They inspire a sense of fearlessness and majesty. They are so focused and unstoppable.” Naturally, his love for the majestic animal transfers into his beloved creative outlet – photography.

The moments that Nitish captured in Ranthambore National Park in India show tigers in their natural habitat – regal, yet vulnerable, intimidating, but at the same time peaceful and even playful. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so scroll down below to witness the majesty that no words could ever possibly depict.

    Referencing this once-in-a-lifetime shot of a tiger strolling by the ruins of an ancient temple, the photographer wrote on his Instagram page: “One of Arrow’s girl walking in front of Padam Lake this morning in magical Ranthambore National Park. It was freezing cold, full of fog and mist and I couldn’t feel my fingers, glad that I was able to press the shutter on my camera. It was such a special moment, one that I have been waiting for, for as long as I can remember, finally nature has blessed me with this. I am ever so grateful. For me, this image has captured the heart and soul of Ranthambore.”

    “Winter mornings in Corbett are always very special, full of mist and fog makes it so surreal [and] dreamlike. In nature everything has a job, the job of the fog is to beautify further the existing beauties. As the fog slithered over the forest floor it was hard to see and figure out what lay ahead, but that was what made the mornings in Corbett so exciting. As we took a turn on the road, we saw fresh pug marks and there she was patrolling her territory dressed in the shades of winter.”

    “They give me the power to move on”
