Durga, Rani, Lakshmi, Janumani, Anisha, and Gowri, all captive elephants once, occupy the facility today where they lead a relaxed life. But a lifetime of captivity has left them with some irreparable damage. At the facility, efforts are on to reverse those as much as possible.

"Gods in chains."
I can honestly say that statement really struck a nerve with me.
I pray these precious creatures recover and live out the rest of their lives in happiness.
AND PLEASE MAKE IT ILLEGAL to use them for human gains of any sort!

Shame on Mallus

[@backpropagation8365]

Do not use elephants for temple shows. It is just wrong. Plain wrong.

[@soumyadipmukherjee6627]

They are treated way better in temples then in circuses

[@SachinPoojara]

More educated girls spotted out 😂
Anti Sanatani or anti Indian please listen in Karnataka Dussehra elephants are staying in Jungle type environment areas
