Summary:
The 2018 Dasara elephants are Arjuna, Balrama, Abhimanyu , Gopalswamy, Vikrama, Gopi , Drona, Dhananajaya, Vijaya, Kaveri , Varalakshmi and Chaitra. The live streaming will be available on the Karnataka State Tourism website and its social media handles. We want to reach out to people across the world even before the festival kickstarts in October, so that tourists can plan their holiday well in advance. It all begins with the Gajapayanam in Mysuru, which marks the start of the festival. Two new elephants — Dhananjaya and Chaitra — will take part in Dasara for the first time this year..
