Worshippers blessed by an elephant at the Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple.
In 2014 whilst on a trip to Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India I paid a visit to the Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple. This is one of the holiest temples in India and sometimes referred to as a modern day wonder of the world.
As a Hindu temple there are lots of symbols of the religion. This includes the amazing decoration on the four towers of the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai. To wonderous statues and designs inside plus the thousand pillar hall.
In Hindu religion being blessed by an elephant is a wonderful and sacred experience. It is also possible to be blessed by an elephant at the Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple in one of the courtyards.
I watched on in amazement as people walked forward in front of the elephant and held out a bank note. The elephant then collected the bank note with her trunk before passing it to her keeper.
The person stood there was then blessed by an elephant with a tap on the head from her trunk.
