The second batch of five Dasara elephants arrived here from their respective jumbo camps on Wednesday. All five were brought in separate trucks and received at the palace premises where nine other elephants are camping since their arrival last month.
The five elephants include Parthasarathy, Vijaya, Gopi, Srirama and Sugriva.
Parthasarathy is the youngest elephant in the Dasara jumbo squad. The 18-year-old jumbo belonged to Ramapura elephant camp in Bandipur. The four others are from Dubare camp in Kodagu. It’s a debut Dasara for Parthasarathy, Srirama and Sugriva.
