Mini Pooram ceremony

This new route to India was an adventure into the unknown, and so far, the adventure has been amazing. The crowds in the Race Village are wonderful. There was a mini-pooram ceremony on Thursday night, complete with 15 elephants. The colors were bright and the ceremony was spectacular. Photos taken by David Kneale/Volvo Ocean Race.
