A herd of Asian Elephants was playing in water in Ramganga River.
April 2024.
In the tranquil embrace of Corbett National Park's Ramganga river, a herd of wild elephants was near the river with some of its members immersed in river water. Their majestic presence a testament to the untamed beauty of the wilderness. As sunlight danced upon the reflecting, rippling waters, the air resonated with the melodic symphony of their mild trumpets.
With eager anticipation, I framed the scene through my camera lens, ready to immortalize this fleeting encounter with nature's magnificence. The elephants, led by the wise matriarch, waded the cool embrace of the river, their massive forms exuding a sense of serene contentment.
Amidst the gentle currents, I focussed on two sub-adult elephants, their playful spirits ignited by the shimmering waters. With graceful movements, they engaged in a lively game of trunk-wrestling, their youthful energy a captivating spectacle against the backdrop of the tranquil river.
In that moment, time seemed to stand still as I captured the essence of their joyous play. It was a scene of pure harmony, where the rhythms of nature converged in a symphony of life and vitality. Me and my friends did not mind the scorching sun burning over our heads on the sandy and stony expanse of the river.
As the sun cast its sharp light upon the water, I felt a profound sense of gratitude for bearing witness to such untamed beauty. In the heart of the wilderness, amidst the serene expanse of the Ramganga river, I found myself humbled by the sheer majesty of the natural world.
