Wow thats so nice that shambu alow you to touch and yes in your side elephant get to seen more and they are nice always to us. For you its common thing to see but here people are crazy of they see elephant on road. I like to see them and want to touch but never did it because always scaring from it as if they not like then they may harm.
Shambu is very calm elephant. So we can touch him without much fear. In our area it can be seen mostly in temples for festivals. That makes the festival a grant program. I love them soo much so that i enjoy those momentz. Thankyou for the compliment birju. :)
