KIDS’ BLOG: ELEPHANTS! (Lorie in India)

In India, people ride elephants.  Most people do it for fun today, but in the past, people worked with elephants.


Bye, bye, elephant!


This elephant is walking through a spice plantation, where people grow cinnamon, cloves, ginger, coffee and chocolate.  Lots of things that we like to eat!


People love elephants so much that they are always making sculptures and pictures of elephants.  Sometimes they decorate their elephants by putting fancy clothes on them and covering them with flowers.




Because Indians love elephants so much, they have even made an elephant god, who brings good luck.  He is called Ganesh.  He has many arms.  People love him.
