Taktseng, the Tiger’s Nest, is possibly the most widely recognised image of Bhutan throughput the world. Padmasambhava, the prince from Swat, who bestrode the Himalaya like a colossus, flew here on the back of his consort who had taken the form of a flying tigress. Padmasambhava meditated here as did many others in later years, including Milarepa. (April 1997; Canon A1, Kodachrome 64)

The Great Rann of Kutch is home to itinerant pastoral communities, who though are collectively called maldhari. One such maldhari community are the Fakirani Jats, who live a semi-nomadic life and breed camels. The camels are known as Kharai, a breed which is peculiar to the mangrove ecosystem of Kutch district.
