Kerala’s ‘love affair’ with Elephants
============================
People across the world have immense love for these giant animals and Keralities stand a couple of steps ahead in showing the love for the animal. Along with a large population of wild elephants, Kerala has more than five hundred and fifty domesticated elephants at present, which are mostly owned by temples and individuals. It is also the state animal, with being featured in the state emblem, adopted from the erstwhile Royal Arms of Travancore and Cochin.
Almost till the 19th Century, having a pet elephant was considered a prestige for Keralites. It was more like owning a BMW/Audi or a Rolls Royce for that matter. The prestige of the family was measured by the number of elephants they used to own. The tradition and culture of Kerala and its relation to use elephants in temple processions date back to centuries. There’s not a single festival to be seen in God’s own country which doesn’t have an elephant procession or participation. According to recorded facts and figures, even from 1436 elephants were used in Arattupuzha Pooram. Those who reside on the banks of Bharathapuzha towards the northern Kerala used to assemble for the Arattupuzha Pooram taking the elephants along with them. It is in this time that during the reign of Shakthan Thampuran, the much-famed Thrissur Pooram has started some 200 years ago. “Kerala boasts the most number of domesticated tuskers in the world. It is only because of the care and attention given to them that we could achieve this goal,” says Sasi, State General Secretary of Elephant Owner’s Association.
