The gentle magnificence of elephants has long held a special place in Indian society. It's hardly surprising that elephants became symbols of royalty in Indian culture and that the animal is associated with a number of different festivals. The Elephant Festival is a festival celebrated in Jaipur city in Rajasthan state in India.
The Elephant Festival begins with a beautiful procession of bedecked elephants. The owners proudly embellish their elephants with vibrant colors and heavy jewellery. It is quite a treat to see female elephants wearing anklets, which tinkle as they walk. The most beautifully decorated elephant is awarded.
