Earlier in June, a video went viral showing an elephant bidding farewell to his loving mahout who lost the battle against cancer.
The incident, which happened in Kottayam, Kerala, saw the elephant named Pallat Brahmadathan paying last respects to his master Omanachettan, who had cared him for nearly a quarter of a century. The emotional moment left the entire gathering teary-eyed.
According to local reports, Kunnakkad Damodaran Nair alias Omanachettan as he was fondly addressed, was known for his love for elephants and had been taking care of them for over six decades.
He passed away on June 3, at the age of 74.
On learning about the demise of Omanachettan, the owners of the elephant had taken the animal to pay last respects to his mahout.
The emotional scenes ensued as the tusker raised its trunk and bowed near the body of Omanachettan. The clip also showed one of the relatives warmly embracing the animal and weeping as the elephant paid its respects.
