Buxa Tiger Reserve and Jayanti Riverbed, nestled in the foothills of the eastern Himalayas, is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature photographers alike. The place, with its diverse habitats of forests, grasslands, and river bed, attracts a rich variety of butterflies, many of which engage in the fascinating behavior of mud puddling. The moist earth becomes a popular spot for butterflies seeking essential minerals, and this is where I found myself one morning, camera in hand, ready to capture these beautiful moments.
