Hello Subhash !
Wow, this is an animal we do not see very often on TN ! I love the way they are all standing in a line, looking at you with pointed ears. As far as I know, they are very shy animals, it's very difficult to get close to them, so I have to congratulate you on being able to get this shot ! Very well done !
Valérie.

Hi Subhashjee,

I feel that you might have lots of stay and run exercise to catch this image because these Indian Wild Ass are very sensitive to let you have any image.

Best wishes,

Regards,
Mahesh
