I did catch this on trip of Jeypore, reaching to a village which was totally unpremeditated. On trip to Jeypore, i had to land in a village which was filled with surprises and turned into a splendid trip though landing into tragedies. The moment i did reach Jeypore there was curfew declared there for few days with some reason and i did get lucky to capture these shots from the forest of Jeypore.
