Buxa
About This Aquascape
In the quiet embrace of the eastern Himalayas, the Buxa forest unfolds like an emerald vision—mist weaving through sal and teak, rivers murmuring to ancient stones, and hornbills etching music across the sky. A sanctuary of wild grace and timeless silence, it stands as a green cathedral where every leaf tells a story and every shadow breathes wonder. This is the land I belong to—my country, my state—where nature reveals its purest self. My work is but an ode to the enchanting heart of Buxa.
