Pachyderm indisposed
Madurai, Mar 28 (UNI) The temple elephant of the famed Meenakshi Amman temple here, Angayarkanni, is indisposed and is being treated for various ailments. A medical team headed by Namasivayam, Joint-Director of Health, was attending on the critically ill 41-year-old pachyderm.
According to temple sources, the elephant was lying down on the floor since yesterday and could not lift itself up. A team of experts in treating domesticated elephants was expected to arrive here tomorrow from Guruvayur.
Angayarkanni was gifted to the temple and had been part of many temple rituals, especially during festive occasions.
IMO: God's blessings are on it and it is hoped that it will recover.Not every elephant has been so fortunately blessed. Many elephants just have to pull logs and have to work, like the rest of us.
Madurai, March 31: The temple elephant, ailing for the past few days and undergoing treatment here, died today despite efforts of the doctors to save it
