Nepal and Rajasthan are the only two places where polo is played on elephant-back though not a serious sport, it attracts the international media because of the oddity of a fast game placed from the back of pachyderms who can hardly move as fast in confined space of a stadium. It is however amusing to watch. Though elephant polo too can be specially organized on request, competitions are arranged annually at Jaipur’s Chaugan Stadium during Holi.
