Music, dance, poetry, food, Yuvadasara and much more to entertain people during Mysore dasara(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysore_Dasara), nice way of exhibiting culture and talent, why you still need 'Jumboo savari'? what kind of entertainment is that? cheap and inhuman.
An enslaved elephant(elephant is considered as a god in Hindu mythology) carrying a golden howdah( weighs 750 kg and contains goddess 'Chamundi' inside it) and walking on the main streets for 2-3 hrs in hot sun.
Millons of ppl watch it and it seems they feel divine, they are happy that they are continuing old tradition and goddess will bless them, Its fine if they still burden themselves with beliefs and insane practices(to me it is insane, they should discard certain old practices, if you want your goddess to tour around the city, use a motor vehicle or people should pull it and take) but why are you burdening those innocent elephants? what kind of divine feeling you experience watching this? respect the freedom that living elephant has, Your goddess carried by elephant has no life, come on it is made of gold!
How can you justify this act ? people are deceiving themselves, you cannot hide the reality in the name of tradition,in fact people who don't know the reality follow traditions without even thinking whether it is necessary at the present time or not, also you are influencing your children by glorifying this act.
A Human ceases to be a human if he/she tries to find beauty and god in the very act of slavery and cruelty.
Feed them, take care of them, watch them playing in the forest, but why do you want use them for this act? It doesn't matter if you decorate them with ornaments and tattoos or not, this act is not different from a typical circus act.
Its better if you call this a circus(divine circus), at least stop deceiving your children.
PS: Female elephants accompany the male elephant which carries the goddess 'Chamundi' so that he remains calm.
