An eyewitness to the elephant slaughter narrated the following to Lankasara.
We were waiting. It was about 8:30 p.m. One of the elephants in the group turned around. When that elephant turned to go back, the other elephants started to get worried. They turned around and knocked over the bread in the coconut pounding area of the temple and ran to the barn.
We couldn’t imagine what was happening. People were shouting. Rolling and running. Some were carrying small things. Hearing this sound, Ali was even more frightened. The parade was interrupted. We just ran away and waited.
The ambulance came a while later and took some people to the hospital… After that, part of the procession went… We were scared,” he said.
According to reports, one of the two elephants said to belong to Namal Rajapaksa was the first to be killed in the procession. Insiders said that Kulap’s elephant was not very relaxed from the first time it was taken for the procession and it was doubtful whether it was properly checked before being allowed to participate in the procession.
The situation was allegedly exacerbated by a lack of coordination among wildlife veterinary teams when the elephants were killed.
Inside sources said that Perahala expressed the lack of proper accountability of the chiefs including Basnayaka Nilame over the Perahala festival, a cultural way of worship associated with God, and a rift emerged between the two parties with the advent of temple cotton.Eating Kural is to receive the tributes accepted by the deities in the temple.
