Bambi Makes Friends

This picture by Hindustan Times lensman Himanshu Vyas has won the IFRA Gold Award for News Photography. Vyas had heard about an orphan fawn being looked after by a Bishnoi woman near his hometown Jodhpur. At the mud dwelling, he noticed the fawn playing with her children.
"When hungry, the woman breastfed the fawn and her daughter simultaneously. This connection between man and nature is unparalleled," he says.
