Kunjara means elephant. In your country you don’t see elephant. In India, we have seen. Not nowadays. Still, there are some, but fifty years before there were many elephants. Especially the zamindars, the landlords and the native princes, they used to keep so many elephants. They used to spend for it… To keep elephant means it is very expensive job.

“The Mayapur Elelphants are going out twice a day for a stroll with their mahouts. This video is showing how they are getting ready to go out and how peaceful and content the girls are with their mahouts.
We can also see how the mahouts use their feet to give commands. In Mayapur we do not use the Ankus or any such sharp instruments to train our elephants.
The mahouts carry a thin stick to guide the elephants. No harsh or cruel methods of training are used. The training we use is based on Love and trust.”
