Mysore/Mysuru: “There is an indestructible relationship between the royal family and elephants since beginning and the royal family has been very respectful to the elephants that have been participating in Dasara festivities. To express their love and concern to the elephants, the erstwhile kings had installed Jayamarthanda Gate (the main entrance gate of Mysore Palace) and Aane Baagilu at Amba Vilas Palace,” said littérateur Bannur K. Raju.
He was speaking on the topic ‘Dashamiya Jumboo Savari, Aanegala Paatra’ at the 10th and concluding webinar of the series titled ‘Mysuru Dasara Aanegalu’ organised by the Forest Department in association with Asian Elephant Support (AES).
