Temple procession

Seen in a temple in my native village in Kerala State, India.

This marks the beginning of the seven day Temple festival (Pooram).

The lead elephant carries the decorated statue of the presiding deity of the temple. All households en route the procession give grains (paddy) and other contributions to the temple and fruits to the elephants.
