They might be most less talked about animal, when it comes to Ranthambore- we talk about tigers, crocs, monitor lizards and much more, but certainly not about monkeys. Although monkeys are integral part of the tiger reserves and ones to give the indication of spotting a tiger, but still here we are talking about monkeys of Ranthambore fort, which is located inside the tiger reserve and is claimed to have only temple in world of Trinetra (three-eyed) Ganesha. Devotees throng this temple, many of them on their foot for kilometres and some do encounter an odd tiger on the way. Well here is a peek into monkey ‘business’!
Guarding the fortress!!
The faithful guards!
Little “Hanuman” with a long tail
Motherly affection
Part of her soul!
But somebody else wants to claim the young one! A fight razes…
Napping! They all are quite oblivious to whatever transpires..
But this group is watching anxiously…
The mayhem continues to claim the baby…
Issue seems to be resolved for now…
Waiting for their share from god’s offerings.
This one is ready to go all the way to top!
If they don’t get, they are ready to snatch away their right!
A few don’t mind being friendly…
He is hungry for sure!
That’s not a yoga pose, just trying to get some food
They just keep an eye from every corner…
They are no strangers to visitors, tourists and the devotees…
Loved this post. Thank you for sharing. These monkeys can be such cheeky fellas, I had my sun glass snatched off my face by a monkey once. But they are undeniably full of life and expressions
Was it at Ranthambore? Yes, few get a bit aggressive when repeatedly denied their share of ‘prasad’ from the ones who have it in their hands. But they are certainly sombre in comparison to their counterparts at Jakhu in Shimla.
Ha Ha..so you had monkey encounters too. Thankfully didn’t get slapped or scratched by them
Afterall, our forefathers they are! We inherit a lot from them.
True. Second that thought
Monkey business could be so much fun 🙂 great photos!
Yea, sometimes fun, but could be big trouble sometimes!
