The eight elephants participating in the coming Dasara festival in Mysuru will receive insurance.
Providing risk coverage to the elephants as well as the mahouts and kavadis participating in the festival has been a routine precautionary measure and the authorities have decided to continue with the practice.
While the five male elephants including the howdah elephant Abhimanyu, Ashwathama, Gopalaswamy, Vikrama and Dhananjaya have been insured for ₹3.5 lakh each, the three female elephants – Cauvery, Lakshmi and Chaitra – have been insured for ₹2.5 lakh each.
