Raja - the King of Bandipur, every year someone predicts that he will be taken out. what they don't realize is that he has killed three rival males till date and has always dominated the Tourism zone since early 2009. as a younger male, he was first photographed in Agasthya's territory (late 2008) and sometime after, his sightings grew and by early 2009. he had taken over all of Agasthya's former territories. believed to be the son of Agasthya and the dominant male from the litter. 8 years later, he's still the king of Bandipur and those that doubted him can see the results. Gowri Shankar/Basavana Katte male has dominated all the other tigers in the tourism zone according to the Bandipur FD and Raja is the only male that can go head to head with the young King and for good reason. Raja is the father of Basavana Katte and hands down, both are two of the strongest specimens of Southern India. they say Bandipur-Nagarhole-Wayanad-Mudumalai cluster has about 570 tigers and if you divide them all, Bandipur has considerably one of the largest population of tigers and dominating in a highly active area is truly a remarkable feat for any tiger.
