Description ▲
Raja was born wild and free in the jungle, but at just ten years old, he is captured by men, separated from his herd and taken to a training camp. Frightened, distrustful and missing his mother, Raja is all alone, but not for long! Vijay, a junior mahout, befriends the young elephant and before long, the pair are inseparable. Searching for the opportunity to prove themselves, Raja and Vijay move from adventure to adventure - tiger hunts, royal favour and disgrace, fights with robbers . . . But will they ever achieve the greatest honour of all and lead the annual festival in honour of Lord Shiva? Whatever happens, getting there won't be easy!
