yrs later, recently a local court declared that 'Human life is valuable than the Elephant's life' Hence, the Temple was denied of solatium

Meanwhile, the court commented to end the cruelty on elephants, where they are made to stand in places of worship.

Kerala's Hindu heritage is rich in stories of legendary tuskers. The Jumbos are considered next to God, bec of which they carry Gods

It isn't Our culture to Kill an elephant for the superiority of Humans. this idea of Human supremacy is Abrahamic.
