DURGA | Half hidden. Fully aware. 🐆
There’s something about a leopard in the shadows — you rarely see the whole story at once.
Durga rested quietly behind the trees, revealing just enough of herself to remind us that she had been watching long before we spotted her.
Daughter of Rana and the famously elusive Sharmili, this young leopardess seems to have inherited that same instinct for disappearing into Jhalana’s landscape.
One eye. One frame.
And an entire personality.
