I'm already planning my next trip to India, the main place for this one will be around Kerala to see elephants and many other wonderful things.

Searching the internet I find all kinds of misinformation, some will say there are 101 elephants at a festival and another will say 10 for the same festival.

For the festivals where elephants are used I have these dates. Now I'm trying to find out which would have the most elephants and or are the best?
