At the verge of dawn, when there was hardly any light, the world’s largest mangrove, the Sundarbans where still many mysteries and folklore prevail, blessed me with the sighting of a huge Jungle Cat.

After the sighting of the Royal Bengal Tiger, the glimpse of a Jungle Cat from Sundarbans was always there in my wish-list and finally it happened.

When we spotted this wild cat in the midst of the tiger palm trees(Hental Bon, in local language), it was starring at the rising Sun, as if it was hypnotized by the Sun’s mighty aura and compared its own strength with it.

After few moments, it realized my presence and starred at me in a very innocent manner, as if it was expecting me and I  photographed it to my heart’s content .

Few moments later it went back, gifting me a handful of memories and fulfilling my long desire.
