The genesis of this book in 2022 was a homage to the enduring spirit of Machhli. What began as a fascination with capturing the lineage of the world's most storied tigress evolved into a grand narrative, a rich tapestry of images and tales celebrating her descendants—the Warrior Queens of Ranthambore. This book is a heartfelt tribute to Machhli, a tigress whose name denoting ‘fish’, whimsically contrasts with her regal demeanour. She reigned with the grace of a queen and left a legacy akin to that of a deity. An assemblage of meticulously curated images, this curated collection unfolds the saga of 52 tigers, each frame a testament to countless hours spent in Ranthambore's diverse landscapes. Readers are invited to delve into the profound narratives and visual splendours of these majestic beings. In today's fast-paced world, this labour of love aspires to reawaken the spirit of wildlife enthusiasts and earn a honest spot in the collections of connoisseurs. More than a mere compilation, this book aims to leave an indelible mark on tiger conservation. In a commitment to this cause, proceeds from its sales are dedicated to the Regal Roar Trust—a fitting tribute to Machhli's enduring legacy.
