Actress Shilpa Shetty donates mechanical elephant to Jagadguru Renukacharya Temple in Karnataka

Actress Shilpa Shetty donated a life-size mechanical elephant to a Karnataka temple during a centenary celebration. The temple, which refuses to use live elephants, will use the robotic elephant, named Veerabhadra, for ceremonies. This initiative, supported by PETA India and CUPA, aims to prevent animal cruelty and promote the use of technology in religious practices.
