From the gallery to a bird’s flyway.
The heart of the guide is an immersive gallery of the bird species found in the region. Visitors browse a visually rich catalog, filtering and exploring birds at their own pace.
Tapping a bird opens its profile: its habitat, behavior and physical characteristics. Flyway maps show how birds migrate across Chhattisgarh and the wider Indian subcontinent, so visitors see why the region matters.
The gallery
The region’s birds as cards, each with its photograph and name.
