Gandhi-Vadra-Baig Celebrate In Ranthambore

The Gandhis, including Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, reached Ranthambore today. Baigs are also reportedly accompanying them.

Sources say the plans include New Year celebrations and a trip to the popular wildlife park. The Gandhi-Vadra family is staying at the Sher Bagh Hotel in Ranthambore and will be there until January 2, 2026.

Who Is Raihan Vadra

Raihan Vadra studied at the Doon School in Dehradun, the same school where Rajiv Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi studied. He then moved to the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London for higher education in politics.

Raihan is a visual artist who has been capturing the world through his lens since he was ten. His portfolio spans wildlife, street, and commercial photography, according to his bio available on the APRE Art House, a contemporary art gallery based in Colaba, Mumbai.

In 2021, junior Vadra debuted his first solo exhibition, 'Dark Perception,' at Bikaner House in New Delhi, exploring the theme of imaginative freedom. The exhibition mined his experiences with light, space, and time after he suffered an eye-injury during a school cricket match in 2017. 

"I started to do a lot of black and white shoots after my eye accident; the perception of how one perceive things and using the concept of darkness to seek light," Raihan Vadra told NDTV.

Photography has been Raihan's childhood passion, encouraged by his mother. His grandfather, former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, too loved photography, and the junior Vadra studies his works.
