RANTHAMBORE Riddhi (T-124)
Riddhi (T-124), born in January 2019 to Arrowhead, is the fourth generation of Machli’s line on the lakes: she pushed into and, as our drivers report, has held the historic core around Padam Talao, Malik Talao and Rajbagh in recent seasons.

Riddhi’s life, with sources
- Jan 2019 Born to Arrowhead (T-84) in the lake territory. [our earlier guide]
- 2022 onwards As she matured she pushed into the core lakes, the same ground Machli once held, and in recent seasons our guides have reported her holding it: bold and often active in daylight. [our guides and drivers]
Each entry names its source; the full list is at the foot of the page. Where accounts differ (dates of the crocodile fight, the cause of an illness) we say so rather than pick one.

Questions about Riddhi
Is Riddhi the tiger I will see in zone 3?
Nobody can promise that. She has used the lake country in recent seasons, but tigers move and zones are allotted by the Forest Department. Two or three drives across different zones is what genuinely improves your odds.
How is Riddhi related to Machli?
Machli (T-16) → Krishna (T-19) → Arrowhead (T-84) → Riddhi (T-124): four generations of tigresses on much the same stretch of lakes.

Sources and how we know
Tiger names, T-numbers and family lines follow the Forest Department’s identification as reported by the park’s guides and in the press. Where we describe where a tiger has been seen, it is our drivers’ and guides’ experience from recent seasons, not a statement of where that tiger is today: territories shift every season and no zone can promise a sighting.
