Summary
[edit]DescriptionPondicherry India Temple Elephant.jpg |
English: Beautiful Laxshmi the elephant is stationed outside the Manakula Vinayagar Temple in Pondicherry in the morning and after lunch where she gives blessings to devotees and tourists alike.
She will deftly take an offered coin and softly lay her trunk over your head in blessing. Even as a non-Hindu devotee, I can attest, there is something magical with such a connecting gesture from such a noble beast. Laxshmi like many elephants in India are highly sought after in temples and arguably are well cared for. I struggle seeing them chained and employed in a 9-5 grind for coins, but she arguably lives longer and healthier than some of her wild family and either way, the practice remains engrained in Indian society. |
