When the elephants rejected traditional medicines due to their bitter aftertaste, the Vantara crew began preparing laddus for the elephants. According to Vantara, the elephants would bend their trunks away from the medications. The organization stated, "Our team went out to design a medicine that would heal the elephants and lift their spirits too, recognizing their reluctance."Every day at Vantara, 250 elephant laddus are prepared with ghee, black salt, and jaggery, among other things.
