Ghosts of the Granite Hills
Kairav Engineer Foreword by Jonathan and Angela Scott
Ghosts of the Granite Hills is a photographer's love letter to the land, the lore, the life and the leopards of this unsung jewel in Rajasthan's crowded crown. Built on Kairav Engineer's decade visiting this stony world, the book is a sweeping study of little-known leopard behaviour, the extraordinary Rabaris, a surprising abundance of wildlife by both day and night, and a rare harmony in coexistence that has for centuries stood as a stolid beacon of hope and inspiration for our ecological future.
Inset lavishly with over 350 photographs and dense with vivid and perceptive commentary, Ghosts of the Granite Hills brings Jawai to life in dazzling detail and in being at once both a triumph of art and a tome of natural history, is an enrichment essential to every library.
Kairav Engineer is an entrepreneur, photographer, author and wildlife conservationist, and founder-director at Safari Crafters, a boutique wildlife-experiences company.
Holding dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Industrial Engineering and Management from Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Kairav blends technical expertise with a deep passion for preserving India's natural heritage, putting him in a commanding position at the interface of science and art. But above all, Kairav's true calling lies in conservation, where he channels his energy into initiatives that safeguard ecosystems and empower communities.
His love for wildlife photography, vividly showcased in this book, is always a commentary on not just the beauty of the planet's precious biodiversity, but also the urgent need to protect it. This personal passion drives Kairav's leadership in conservation projects that address critical environmental challenges across India.
A voracious reader, frequent moviegoer and global traveller, Kairav draws inspiration from diverse perspectives, which he then channels into his vision.
His legacy as a conservationist is defined by his ability to bridge corporate responsibility with environmental advocacy, creating a sustainable future where India's natural heritage thrives alongside its communities.
