14 elephants return to camps after grand Mysuru Dasara

Mysuru, Oct 5 (UNI) Fourteen elephants led by Abhimanyu’s team returned to their camps today after participating in the grand Mysuru Dasara celebrations and the spectacular Jamboo Savari, drawing people that lined the streets to witness the majestic animals one last time.
The elephants, along with their mahouts and attendants, were handed over to the forest department at Kodi Someshwara Temple following traditional prayers at the palace premises.
For the past 60 days, these elephants had been the beating heart of the Dasara festival, marching from the palace to Banni Mantapa in a carefully rehearsed two-stage procession. Their routine involved climbing wooden platforms, practicing with drums, and undergoing regular weight and health checks, all while the city watched, photographed, and shared every moment on social media.
