In Pondicherry, there is an elephant called "Lakshmi" in front Ganesh Temple. She stands outside the temple ( from the morning to the evening) . She is very sweet. She is nicely decorated. Everyday new designs are painted on her. The bells on her jewellery are made by a taylor. The brahman makes the mark on her forehead.
Also when she's around, in case they want to come out to be blessed by her, the people give her money and they are blessed by the elephant.
Lakshmi arrived in Pondicherry in 1997, she was then 6 years old ( now she's 13 years old).
She eats fruits, Pongal (4kg a day), leaves... Her favorite fruit is watermelon and banana. So if you come and see her, you will know what to bring.
She has a very heavy responsibility!
I wish you could see her...
