Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot recently unveiled senior photographer S. Eshwar’s book titled Dream Weaver at Raj Bhavan. The book offers a captivating visual narrative of the everyday struggles faced by weaver birds in their quest to build the perfect nest. The book has been lauded by renowned wildlife photographers Krupakar Senani and S. Thippeswamy for their insightful depiction of nature and wildlife.
Eshwar’s fascination with weaver birds blossomed unexpectedly during a visit to his native village of Madadkere in the Hosdurga taluk of Chitradurga district. Amidst the tranquil ambience of his farm, the melodies of chirping birds lured him towards a derelict well. There, he discovered around 50 weaver birds diligently crafting their nests, suspended from the branches of a nearby tree. Eshwar seized the opportunity to capture their intricate work and the daily ordeals they faced.
