Overview In Rajasthan, elephants hold special significance as they were once used to carry royalty. Royal guests were often taken to the famous Amber Fort on elephant back, and special elephant fights were organized for their entertainment. Jaipur, in particular, was known for honoring royal guests by parading them on elephants. Recognizing the importance of this tradition, the Rajasthan Tourism Department revived it, and now a grand Elephant Festival is held every year in March to celebrate this cultural and historical legacy.
