The elephants from the jungle camp who were in Mysuru for Dasara and covered themselves with glory with impeccable performance during the Jamboo Savari on Tuesday, will head back to the forests on Thursday.
They will be accorded a ceremonial send off and it will be adieu for elephant Abhimanyu and 13 others until their return during Dasara next year.
The elephants were brought to Mysuru in different batches about 45 days before the commencement of the festival so as to let them acclimatise to the urban milieu and familiarize themselves with the procession route.
