Kaziranga's Newborn Elephant Calf 'Mayabini' Named After Zubeen Garg's Iconic Song on World Animal Day

The female calf was born to Kuwari, one of Kaziranga's most cherished elephants

On World Animal Day this Saturday, a newborn elephant calf at Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve received the name 'Mayabini', inspired by Zubeen Garg's popular song that has become an anthem among his followers.

The female elephant calf was delivered by Kuwari, a beloved elephant at Kaziranga, bringing new life and happiness to the renowned wildlife sanctuary.

Chandra Mohan Patowary, Assam's Minister for Environment, Forest & Climate Change, announced that the elephant calf has been named 'Mayabini,' representing new life, hope, and harmony in the natural world.

In his post on X, Patowary stated, "Heartening news on #WorldAnimalDay - Kuwari, the elephant of @kaziranga_, has given birth to a healthy female calf! With immense affection and public goodwill, we've named her 'MAYABINI' - a symbol of new life, hope, and harmony in the wild."

The song 'Mayabini ratir buku', which Garg once mentioned should be performed at his funeral, has become an anthem for his fans who sang it during his final journey.
