Holy Elephant!

A lot of South Indian Temples employ Elephants. These Elephants represent Lord Ganesha and are used in many religious ceremonies. I just love these massive but gentle creatures.

But thats what makes it so exciting.

Observe the holy marks on the Elephant.

I’m feeding the Elephant bananas. You purchase bananas from the shop in front of the temple. Its a way to pay for the upkeep of the elephant. You also earn some karma… :) Notice the lovely brass bells on the elephant.
