Elephant Madhuri to Return to Kolhapur Under High-Powered Committee Conditions
Elephant Madhuri, also known as Mahadevi, will return to Kolhapur following a September 9, 2026, order by the High-Powered Committee (HPC) appointed by the Supreme Court. Madhuri was transferred to Vantara's facility in Jamnagar in July 2025 under court directions due to concerns over her health and living conditions. The HPC's order allows her return with strict conditions, including prohibition from processions, round-the-clock care, and fortnightly medical examinations. Vantara has pledged continued veterinary support and helped prepare facilities in Kolhapur for her transition.
