Abhimanyu gets special permission for Dasara appearance as ‘Nishane Ane’
Abhimanyu, the 60‑year‑old legendary Indian elephant, has been granted special permission to appear at the Dasara festival. He will receive a ceremonial send‑off during the grand Jamboo Savari procession that concludes the festival in October. The decision follows the elephant’s long history of participation in the event and the authorities’ desire to honor his legacy.
