Cat in the Ghat 
Adventures of National Geographic Explorer Sandesh Kadur in the Western Ghats of India
This book is based on the adventures of National Geographic Award Winner, Photographer Sandesh Kadur. It documents 
his journey in the hunt for the mysterious 'Pogeyan' cat in the Western Ghats. Written by Ambika Rao, this book is fun 
to read with children because of its playful, endless rhymes. It has been printed in six Indian languages.

I have created bold, bright and messy illustrations keeping in mind the coastal western ghats, the presence of water bodies 
and cascading greenery that grows wild within the forests there. Although he never really meets this cat, the book makes his hunt come alive.
