Machli’s Daughter
Deep inside Ranthambore National Park’s Zone 3, tigress T-19 catches a few winks after a drink on very hot day. She’s one of daughters of Machli, quite possibly the most famous tigress in India.

Beautiful picture. Captures the majesty and laziness of the tiger all at once!
Machli contributed an estimated USD 10 million per annum to Ranthambhore’s local economy for the last 10 years.
