Sugreeva is emerging as the heaviest elephant among the Dasara elephants, with an estimated weight of 5,850 kg, according to reports.

The development is presented in relation to earlier weight announcements from Dasara’s first batch of elephants. The Hindu notes that Sugreeva’s weight is higher than Srikanta’s, who had previously been identified as the heaviest among the first set at 5,790 kg.

Across the two outlets, the core point is the same: Sugreeva’s recorded or estimated weight places him above other top-weight contenders in the Dasara lineup. The reporting mainly differs in how it frames the comparison—focusing either on Sugreeva’s overall status as the heaviest or on the updated ranking relative to the earlier leader, Srikanta.
