No Mary, the Devales are temples in Kandy Sri Lanka.

I think the butter lamps might have come from practices in India. I love oil lamps better.

I think he or she, probably she, males can be dangerous, was just carrying it Suzi, so the mahout didn’t have to take it off completely. I’m yet to see a domestic or working elephant that isn’t chained at night. You don’t want them wandering off. Interestingly…we were thinking of going to the elephant orphanage at Pinnewala. I’ve been twice before and it was great but it costs a fortune (2000Rs plus) so we were weighing it up. James had a look on Trip Advisor and at least half the reviews were bad, talking about the elephants being chained. They certainly weren’t when I was there, other than the males in must, they most certainly HAVE to be restrained, they go nuts. It’s all very interesting. I read a great book once “Travels on my Elephant” about elephant husbandry and the mahout relationship. By Mark Shand. Give it a Google!

The pics are great….and how sweet was that lady to give the boys flowers and show them what to do?! I LOVE your stories. I am curious about one thing: what’s the story with the chains on the elephant?
