Veteran Elephant Abhimanyu Receives Emotional Farewell at Final Mysuru Dasara
Abhimanyu, the veteran tusker who carried the 750-kg golden howdah six times in the Mysuru Dasara procession, received an emotional farewell on October 21, 2025. Leading the procession as the ‘Nishane Ane,’ he was warmly welcomed by large crowds. Abhimanyu retired from active Dasara duties after turning 60 but was allowed to participate this year due to popular demand.
