SRI LANKA - KANDY [ TEMPLE ELEPHANT RAJA ]


The tusker named Raja participated in religious processions, of the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, Kandy, for a period of about fifty years. This elephant was donated to the Temple by a Kandyan dignitary in 1937 and after his death in 1988, the clever hands of the taxidermist turned the elephant to an exhibit admired by visitors to the Temple.
