EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, depicts a temple elephant and its two devoted keepers in Sri Lanka. The image transports us back in time to an era when humans and elephants lived in harmony, their bond deeply rooted in tradition and mutual respect. The temple elephant, adorned with intricate decorations, stands regally, its massive body exuding power and grace. Its eyes are calm and gentle, reflecting the tranquility of its surroundings. The two keepers, dressed in simple white clothing, are seen standing beside the elephant, their faces expressing a deep connection with the animal. One keeper holds a large fan to keep the elephant cool, while the other offers it a basket of food. The temple elephant was an integral part of Sri Lankan culture and history. It was believed that the elephant was the vehicle of the god Ganesha and was revered for its strength, wisdom, and good fortune. The keepers, known as Mahouts, were highly respected members of the community, and their role was not just to care for the elephant but also to maintain the temple and perform various rituals. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka and the deep bond between humans and elephants that existed in the past. It also serves as a testament to the importance of preserving this tradition and ensuring the welfare of these magnificent animals, which continue to be an essential part of Sri Lankan life and folklore.
