A newly built water shower will now help a 17-year-old elephant Akila beat the heat in the Thiruvanaikoil Arulmigu Jambukeswarar Akhilandeswari temple located in Trichy. Authorities have stated that the female elephant which required frequent bathing would now be able to keep itself cool with the water shower.
The shower costing 1 lakh was gifted by a Chennai based donor to celebrate the elephants birthday which falls this month. As temperatures go beyond 41 the elephant takes as much as 5 baths a day to keep itself cool
