Guruvayur Temple #1 (From Wayne Jackson)


Good Day Mr. Wayne...

Thanks for your fantastic photographs.
The photo of elephat that i have send is Guruvayur "Valiya Kesavan". Have you heared about Guruvayur Temple? There is an elephant sanctuary under this famous temple. It is in Kerala near to my home (Only 5 Kms). There are 65 elephants at present. All of them were donated by the devotees.It is such a wonderful place to visit.

This valiya Kesavan comes around 10 feet of hight. He is from the northern state of India (from Bhihar). This Animal is very famous in Kerala (Like Film Star) and there is also FANS Association for this Valiya Kesavan (Elephant). This shows the admiration of the elphants by the Kerala people.
I am herewith sending some recent festival snaps from Kerala. Plz check it.

Hope you are fine.
Thanks &Regards... Marshal

He may be 10 feet tall, but he looks painfully thin to me. I hope it's just the angle of the photo.

Like Paul said, he does look thin. How much should he weigh?
