Background history: Karma was abused as a begging elephant in Hamirpur, Uttar Pradesh and had already lived a majority of her life, sightless, being beaten into submission. This beautiful elephant became timid and grew weak each day that she lived walking on the narrow streets of the city, being confined to chains and concrete at the end of the day. Her arrival to the Elephant Hospital marked her journey away from a life of neglect and she has made tremendous progress with Holly and Kalpana as her dearest friends! | READ MORE ABOUT KARMA
