Skandan is the elephant of Haripad Subrahmaniya Swamy Temple.
He is an elephant from Arunachalpradesh. Puthupally Varghese bought Hariprasad(old name of skandan) first from Arunachalpradesh. Later Manisery Hari bought him from Puthupally and took him to north. From Manisery Hari the devotees of Haripad Subrahmaniya Swamy bought the elephant on July 10, 1999.
After Hariprasad reached Haripad, in 4 days time, on July 13, 1999 the elephant Hariprasad re named as Skandan. This July 10 is going to be the 9th anniversary of his arrival at Haripad. |

Kerala has more than nine hundred elephants in captivity. Most of them are owned by temples and individuals. They are used for religious ceremonies in and around the temples, and a few elephants work at timber yards. Experts defined the necessary features (Lakshanam) for a good elephant. The sexy features of the elephants are narrated in different books like "Mathanga Leela". They even said, the girls should walk like elephant to get more attraction. ..
