Hanagodu: The first batch of six Dasara elephants are being readied for the Gajapayana, the march of the elephants from camps inside the forests, that will take place at Veeranahosahalli Gate on Sept.2. The elephants are being cleaned and bathed with warm water regularly and are being fed with nutritious food and are being prepared to be transported to Mysuru for Naada Habba. The elephants will be traditionally welcomed at the Mysore Palace on Sept.3.
The first batch is being led by Howdah Elephant 58-year-old Arjuna from Balle elephant camp. The others are 60-year-old Balarama, 52-year-old Abhimanyu and 39-year-old Drona — all from Mathigodu elephant camp, 42-year-old Chaitra from Bandipur and 62-year-old Varalakshmi from Masti elephant camp.
Apart from being fed with sumptuous meals, Forest Department Veterinarian Dr. Mujeeb is doing daily checks of the elephants, especially Arjuna who will be the cynosure of all eyes on the Vijayadashami day. Elephants are being closely checked for any possible infections. Even their dung is checked and monitored. Along with the elephants, mahouts, kavadis and their family members are getting ready for the Gajapayana. For the Gajapayana, the Veeranahosahalli Gate is being decked up. The weeds around the gate are being cleared and the land is being levelled by earth movers. Over 1,200 chairs will be placed for the crowd that is expected for the event. Over 1,200 packets of food will be distributed on that day for the crowd while over 400 guests, VIPs and media will be served with special food at Veeranahosahalli Tribal Ashrama School.
Special cultural programmes will be organised on the Gajapayana day where youth and children from the Tibetan Camp at Gurupura near Hunsur will present their traditional dances. This apart, tribals from Veeranahosahalli and surrounding areas will also present their culture in a colourful way.
Meanwhile, on the Mysore Palace campus, construction works on the temporary sheds to house the Dasara elephants and shelter for mahouts and kavadis are going on in full swing.
This time, 12 elephants will be brought to the city in two batches. The authorities have erected temporary shelters, including a school for the children of mahouts and kavadis, and a temporary healthcare centre.

Endocannabinoids (and plant-derived cannabinoids) connect with receptors - called cannabinoid receptors - on the surface of cells. There are two main receptors, CB1 and CB2. It has been shown that Cannabidiol (CBD) strengthens and improves the efficacy of mitochondria, the power source for every cell in your body.
Studies on the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) have shown that apart from being regulator of homeostasis, the ECS also responsible for repairing damaged cells. Research has also shown that cannabinoids are able to target damaged cells without affecting normal cells, which means that the ECS can act as a biological defense system.
When a person ingests hemp oil, CBD, or other cannabinoids, these cannabinoid receptors are activated (CBD seems to have a higher affinity for CB2 receptors than CB1 receptors). Research indicates that when you feed your ECS with non-toxic, non-addictive cannabinoids, it is possible to develop a healthier endocannabinoid system and, almost certainly, a healthier life.
It is one of the new and outstanding discoveries in science. The ECS regulates a variety of biological processes, such as relaxation, feeding, sleep, certain inflammatory reactions and even cognitive function. In short, your ECS is responsible for the optimal function of your body - it's no small task!
Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body. However, while the Endocannabinoid System performs its tasks, experts believe that the function of the ECS is the regulation of homeostasis. It is difficult to define a system as complex as the ECS, but it is important to know that there are two types of important receptors - CB1 and CB2 - in the cells of the body. They are abundant in the brain and immune system. The body produces cannabinoids in a natural process (such as endocannabinoids: anandamide and 2-AG) that share chemical structures similar to cannabinoids derived from plants like CBD.
The ECS literally means "the cannabinoid system inside the body". Because CBD modulates endocannabinoids, hemp-derived CBD oil helps to balance and maintain your body's homeostasis.
"In the last decade, the endocannabinoid system has been implicated in an increasing number of physiological functions, both in the central and peripheral nervous systems and in the peripheral organs ... modulation of the activity of the endocannabinoid system was found to contain therapeutic promise in the diseases And pathological conditions ... "
Researchers are doing studies on cannabinoids and other compounds to see how they interact with the Endocannabinoid System.
CBD and THC are not the only compounds used by the endocannabinoid system. There are at least eighty phyto-cannabinoids, varied endocannabinoids, which are the cannabinoids that all mammals produce in their bodies, and some other compounds such as omega fatty acids that interact with cannabinoid receptors.
There are thousands of studies published and reviewed on the subject of the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system has attracted interest in pharmaceutical drug development and research since its discovery more than two decades ago.
In general, this research indicates that the endocannabinoid system appears to play a very "protective" role in our bodies. In fact, the most important thing the endocannabinoid system wants to protect is homeostasis - that is, making sure that the body is functioning optimally at all times.
Some researchers have proposed an "endocannabinoid syndrome," a syndrome in which the body does not produce enough endocannabinoids. This research speculates that a deficiency of cannabinoids can be at the root of autoimmune diseases like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and more.
As a company, Kannaway is totally in favor of endocannabinoid system research. If research continues to advance in the current direction, it can be argued that the endocannabinoid system is a key system for the general well-being of the human being!
