21st October 2009 - The Blessing of Ganesh @ Twycross Zoo
Ganesh is the first elephant calf born at Twycross Zoo by Artificial Insemination (A.I.), and was formally named and blessed for good health during a traditional Hindu ceremony. This was carried out by a Brahmin Shree Mahendra Pandya, from Leicester, on 21st October 2009.
The ten week old Asian elephant calf was named Ganesh by Nadhini and Ria, winners of our "name the baby elephant" competition - congratulations to you both!
His keepers gave him his second name Vijay (meaning victory).
