Five tuskers are in contention for the role of carrying the ambari during Dasara, according to The Hindu. The report’s headline describes the elephants as being in the final race for the task. The supplied material does not identify the five animals or explain how they reached this stage of the selection process.

It also gives no details about the ambari, the ceremony or the date and location of the Dasara event. The source does not state whether the final choice has been made or when it will be announced. No information was provided about the criteria being used to select the elephant, including its training, health or experience.

The material also contains no comments from organisers or officials. The available report therefore establishes only that five tuskers remain under consideration for the Dasara ambari duty. Further details were not included in the supplied source material.
