Charismatic Collarwali played a key role in boosting tiger numbers and made her sanctuary famous.
", she rarely stepped out of it, and reigned there until her death.
"She was a strong mother, sometimes making two kills a day to feed her cubs," said Dr Akhilesh Mishra, the park veterinarian who treated Collarwali several times during her lifetime. Conservationists like Mr Menon credit Collarwali with giving Pench an image of a tiger reserve "that is at the peak of its health" - this, he says, is part of her legacy, along with the number of cubs she produced. Their offspring are also adding to the tiger population in the area.
For wildlife photographer Varun Thakkar, it's a glimpse he got of her with her "Famous Five" litter in 2011 - six tigers, resting on and around a rock by the bank of the Pench river. Eleven years later, the scene is still fresh in his mind.
