Ramprasad (elephant)

Ram Prasad (meaning: Gift from Lord Rama)[1] was an elephant of Maharana Pratap’s army mentioned in the scripts of Al-Qadir Badayuni.

[2][3] Ramprasad was trained in the Kingdom of Mewar and fought the Mughal army in the Battle of Haldighati on 18 June 1576.

[4][5][6] Maharana Pratap had a deep love for his horse Chetak and also for an elephant whose name was Ramprasad.

[7][8] Al-Qadir Badayuni says that when Akbar attacked the Kingdom of Mewar, he wanted two things to be captured: Maharana Pratap and Ram Prasad.

Akbar renamed him Peerprasad and offered him sugarcanes, fruits and water, which he refused.
