A Tribute to Grand Matriarch T1
Tigress T1 breathed her last today. Along with other pioneering tigers that were introduced to Panna and their offspring, T1 leaves behind a legacy that has invigorated the entire landscape. Have been fortunate enough to spend time with this graceful tigress and later on with her ruling offspring, and gratitude to them for being generous with their sightings, while we were filming, especially during a time, when tigers in Panna were very shy and sightings even rarer.
Before starting the film project to present Panna's reintroduction legacy, looking out at the 2nd plateau, I briefly pondered on and wished that we would be able to sight T1 and other tigers once we began filming. But the landscape was so stunning and the story so intriguing, that decided to anyway go ahead with filming. We would start by presenting the films through Panna's landscape and biodiversity. But fortunately, beginning with T1, tigers including her daughters P141 and P151 began revealing themselves with their cubs. This gave us the opportunity to make the films on Panna's post reintroduction legacy, a legacy to be, spearheaded by Shri Rangaiah Sreenivasa Murthy and his team.
I leave you'll with some moments from Emerald Forest-Return of the Tigers, where Mr.Murthy fondly remembers the reintroduction.
16th April, the day on which T1's first litter was born is celebrated as Tiger Birthday at Panna. 4 years back on this same day we began our second filming schedule. Later that evening we enjoyed the celebration the forest department had for Tiger Birthday at the Department's Karnavati Campus by the banks of Ken river, where Mr.Murthy, his erstwhile team, the contemporary team at Panna came together and shared anecdotes and conservation notes. Thus is the reverence T1 holds in many hearts. As a continuing tribute to T1, look forward to such traditions continuing, especially this year, that also honors the good work done at Panna Tiger Reserve. Wishing that the light that Panna radiates, continuing to shine and inspire all.
A special thank you to tiger matriarch T1🙏
Now she holds that special space with revered Badami Baba of Panna.
If you have watched Kantara, it will give you the sense of respect that Panna holds for Badami Baba and the spirit animals of the forests.
