Pedigree

First elephant calf from captive elephants in M.P. National Parks was born in Bandhavgarh in the year 1983. Gautam sired it...When chara cutters went to bring the elephants back in the morning they found an extra body there. Chara cutter ran straight to inform Tala Ranger (Late Ashutosh Dubey) with this extra ordinary news. We saw Bandhavgaj suckling surrounded by all the females.

Bandhavgaj did not survive long. He died of poor Medication.
