One evening we(Mahesh, Vinay & I) decided to head out to our favourite photographing spot in Bangalore, Hessarghatta. Thankfully this day there weren't any other vehicles & photographers, after traveling some distance I spotted a mongoose sitting on a mound at quite some distance. We decided to slowly approach it and get nearer. As we went closer i noticed another tiny body next to the mongoose, it turned out the mother was sitting with not only with one but two babies. :)
Here are two photographs from that day.
