I had posted this picture many years ago in 2009, submitting it again with few changes but retaining the story as this photo would need one ...........Taken at Hampi, tourists and locals from all over the town had gathered by the river side to see Lakshmi ( the name of this Elephant) taking bath, having seen Elephant bathing before I was hoping to see something different and didn’t see anything until it was time for her to go back and then quite unexpectedly, this happened.....defies logic but made an interesting photo.
