When I choose a state elephant, I do some research about the state and the ruler. Here is what I have about Karauli. Karauli (also formerly spelled Karoli or Kerowlee) is a city located in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The city is the administrative center of Karauli District, and was formerly...

This is a super stereoview that my friend Bill shared with me. It's, as usual, very detailed. The elephants have got to the end of Chandni Chowk, to the curve where Futtehpoorie Musjid is, and turning to ahmai pai. They will walk about a block there to turn left into Queen's road again, towards...
