The city’s unique location at the confluence of the Damodar and Subarnarekha rivers, as well as its proximity to the Himalayas and the Western Ghats, makes it an ideal destination for capturing the beauty of avian life. The Rotary Satellite Club of Jamshedpur Birders has announced a two-day Photography Workshop in collaboration with Canon India, led by renowned wildlife photographer Anindo Basu.
