Background history: Kalpana was rescued in April, 2019 as a begging elephant from Uttar Pradesh, in 2019, owned illegally by a Godman who used her as a money-minting machine. Her owner would paint on her trunk and her forehead to hide her scars and wounds that spoke of her abusive and neglected past. The mental trauma that she underwent led her to be a timid, scared elephant that she was until Wildlife SOS came for her rescue. | READ MORE ABOUT KALPANA
