Mysuru: The Dasara elephants that are undergoing training, had a break on Monday due to the total solar eclipse and full moon day.
Due to this, the rigorous training that used to take place between Palace and Banni Mantap was cancelled and the pachyderms were only taken for walk around the palace.
It has been a practice of retaining the elephants at the camp on the day of eclipse.
The resplendent Mysuru Dasara will begin on September 21 and the jumbos are hence undergoing training to be a part of the jumbo savari event
