In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, we are transported to the vibrant Elephant Festival in Sauraha, Chitwan. The image showcases a mahout meticulously adorning his majestic elephant with chalk, preparing for the grand festivities that lie ahead. The Elephant Festival is a cherished tradition where elephants and their devoted mahouts come together to celebrate these gentle giants. Held annually from December 26th to December 30th, this event is filled with thrilling activities such as elephant races and even an exhibition soccer match played by these incredible creatures. As we gaze at the photograph, we can almost feel the excitement in the air. The bright colors of the chalk contrast beautifully against the elephant's dark skin, creating an enchanting visual spectacle. It is evident that both man and animal share a deep bond as they prepare for this joyous occasion.
