  • A robotic elephant was handed over to the Shivan Temple in Devarshola in Gudalur in Ooty by an NGO, Voices for Asian Elephants.
  • These robotic elephants already have been donated to temples across Kerala, to end the often-criticised practice of maintaining the elephants in captivity at temples, often in unhealthy, inhumane conditions.
  • This is the first such “elephant” to be given to a temple in Tamil Nadu.
  • There are 25 captive elephants in Kerala died in 2023 alone, and three have died already in 2024.
  • The robotic elephants will ensure that the culture of the country is still maintained, while also not tormenting elephants by keeping them in captivity.
