Watch: Karnataka Dasara procession turns chaotic as tusker bolts; goddess’s gold bangles go missing
During the Shivamogga Dasara procession, the elephant Somanna lost control and caused chaos in the streets. Somanna, a last-minute replacement, panicked due to loud noises from the crowd. The silver howdah fell when Somanna bolted, leading to widespread panic among spectators. Authorities quickly intervened to calm Somanna and secure the area after a tense situation. Unfortunately, six gold bangles from Goddess Chamundeshwari went missing during the incident.
