In the head lifting competition the result was as follows...
1. Thechikottukavu Ramachandran
2. Mangalamkunnu Karnan
3. Pampadi Rajan
4. Thiruvambadi Sivasundar|
5. Vellapally Kuttishankaran
When it comes to the Gajarajarethnam Award... Selection of Ramachandran was not expected with the presence of Thiruvambadi Sivasundar, Pampadi Rajan, Thiruvanikavu Rajagopal... But the wound in the back legs, Big swelling in the front legs, ugly presentation (didnt had a good bath for days) brought Sivasundar way down than other elephants. The way Mahouts handle Rajan at the show itself gone aganish Rajan. Rajagopal is also not in good condition with tired body structure and not clean presentation. So the judges selected Ramachandran for the Gajarajarethnam Award. |

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. ..
