"Mahout Jalil Ahmad looked after Indira in her twilight years. More than five of Indiras mahouts who preceded Ahmed have since retired from service. Ahmad said: today we feel we have lost a family members Indira was very sober by nature. In my service of 20 years, Ive never seen her display anger on any occasion. Any visitor could approach her without any fear. She was very popular among children.

Indira used to be a regular participant in Rajyotsava celebrations, Shivamogga Dasara, nearby fairs, festivals and the camps own elephant festival. But over the past two years, she did not take part in any activity due to old age. Yet she was in better health compared to others at the camp.
