Sarma shared a video on Twitter of the park’s reopening to inform audiences about the latest development. In the same, he wrote, “His blessings are special. His teachings, extraordinary. Revered @SadhguruJV, in whose presence Kaziranga National Park opened today for tourists, has a special message to save precious Rhinos. And indeed he enjoyed the Jeep Safari. Tourism Min Shri @jayanta_malla accompanied (sic).”

Along with the reopening, two statues of the one-horned rhinoceros were also unveiled in the Mihimukh area of the Kaziranga National Park. What is unique about them is the fact that they have been made by the ashes of the horns of the one-horned rhino. On September 22, 2021, a stockpile of 2,479 rhino horns was burnt, to send a strong message to poachers.

The reopening of the park will add another adventure to the list of wildlife lovers. The safari here is a thrilling experience, and witnessing these rhinos is the experience of a lifetime.
