Elephants in India are revered and are regarded as a cultural symbol. The tribal folk worship this majestic beast for its strength and ferocity. The tribal communities of the state of Kerala (Korubas) revere the elephant as a God, while Hindu mythology treats the elephant as the incarnation of Lord Ganesha. The legend goes that Lord Indra, the God of Rain and Thunder, possesses a divine elephant as a mount. This is why the elephant, called Gajaraaj (Elephant King), in India is regarded as a symbol of divinity and royalty. Both urban settlers and the tribals use elephants in religious ceremonies or as chariots, to adorn and worship them.
