The Elephant Festival starts with a beautiful procession of bedecked elephants, camels, horses and folk dancers. The owners proudly adorn their elephants with vivacious colors, jhools (saddle cloth) and heavy jewellery.
It is a pleasure to see female elephants has anklets that jingle when you walk. One can see 'gulaal' spraying people (colored powder), perched on top of an elephant. There are prizes for the most beautifully decorated elephant.
Elephant polo, elephant race, tug of war between elephants and nineteen men and women are the highlights of the festival.
