Vantara, which was inaugurated earlier this year by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been known for its national and international efforts in animal rescue, rehabilitation and protection. As of 2025, Vantara has housed over 1.5 lakh animals, belonging to over 2000 species.
The centre also actively engages in activities and initiatives that are geared towards a better, greener earth – which the cast of Vantara took part in during their visit!
The Sitaare Zameen Par Cast Started Strong And Met Manikal!
The cast kicked things off with Vantara Bingo, and on their way to the next dedication they stopped to play ball. While they were playing with the ball, it bounced off into the wilderness and the next thing you knew, Manikal – a young elephant not only found their ball, but decided that it was his turn to play.
Seeing Manikal dribble the ball around was the cutest thing ever, after which everyone did a team huddle and moved on to the next adventure!
They Witnessed A Naming Ceremony And Took Part In Food Prep For Elephants
The team even got the chance to take part in a special moment when they met Kaveri, a mother leopard, and her newborn cubs who had just received their names!
The cast then stepped into the kitchen and with great joy, giggles and wide smiles – helped in preparing special laddus for the elephants at Vanatara.
They Planted Saplings and Met The Stars Of Vantara To Bring A Joyful End To Their Visit
Then they headed out in open air again and with muddy hands and happy faces, planted and watered saplings alongside the team at Vantara. Each sapling planted by the cast members even got the members name attached to it, to commemorate this beautiful memory.
They spent the rest of their time meeting the lively stars of Vanatara, including lions, tigers, leopards and many more!
