The Andal Temple elephant, Jayamalyatha, that was thrashed by its mahout and his assistant at the elephant rejuvenation camp returned to temple on Thursday.
The temple authorities and devotees accorded a warm reception to the 19-year-old female elephant on the temple premises. The temple Fitperson, Ravichandran and Temple Executive Officer, A. Elangovan, offered it fruits after garlanding the elephant.
“We have temporarily appointed two persons, Subramanian and Tirupathi, to take care of the elephant for the time being. Since Subramanian has acquaintance with Jayamalyatha for two years and Tirupathi for four years, the elephant has been friendly with them,” Mr. Elangovan said.
