In a gesture symbolizing the Indian heritage, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Thursday, presented the Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament – a miniature elephant ambawari. The intricately designed artifact, gifted to Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, is deeply rooted in India’s majestic and rich artistic heritage. The white elephants are more than just an ivory showpiece; rather, they carry nobility in ornate howdahs inspired by the ceremonial processions.
The exquisite miniature elephant ambawari is handcrafted in West Bengal. Every life-like detail, from the floral motifs to the miniature seat atop the elephant, is carved with precision by skilled artisans. Moreover, the richly adorned elephant, encased in a transparent display box, celebrates Bharat’s regal pageantry and timeless legacy.
