TheTurningPointThatBeganinChildhood
Sajal’sconnectionwiththewildwasnotborninanurbanphotographyworkshop.Itbeganat the tender age of 11, when he first set foot in the historic, sun-drenched landscapes of Ranthambore. What started as childhood fascination swiftly matured into an unbreakable lifelong pursuit. Over the years, the forest transformed from a holiday retreat into his true home,spendingthevastmajorityofhistimedeepinsidethejungletracks,studyingterritory markers, predator behavior, and forest acoustics.
As he later took up legal studies, this intimacy with the wilderness gained a powerful new perspective. Law taught him about advocacy, evidence, and structural preservation, while the jungle taught him patience, silence, and ecological equilibrium.
