Giggles in the wild: Meet the Indian finalists for the Comedy Wildlife Awards

Training one’s lens on the animal kingdom can yield hilarious results. Four Indian contenders for the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards open up about their funniest pictures.

The Comedy Wildlife Awards are meant to showcase the lighter side of wildlife photography and use it as a tool for conservation. Here, for instance, the snake was probably upset rather than amused. This is a defensive stance it takes when it feels threatened. (Aditya Kshirsagar / Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2021)

Photos: Loss and longing in Goa

Goa-based architect and historian Vishvesh Prabhakar Kandolkar’s site-specific installation. This is not the Basilica!
