Elephants of Mysore Dasara

My friend Mallikarjuna D.G. writes very interesting letters. He has unbelievably beautiful handwriting (he writes in Kannada language), and a great interest in things around him. This week he wrote to me about the elephants of Mysore Dasara. I have excerpted the letter, and translated it for wider audience.

The letter also prompted me to open a new section on the Dasara festival celebrated in different parts of India. BTW, the peak of the festival, Vijayadashami is celebrated tomorrow.
