A frightening incident occurred at the Aarattupuzha temple in Kerala on Friday when two elephants engaged in a violent tussle, causing panic among the attendees. The confrontation took place during the Arattupuzha Pooram ritual at Mandarakadavu. A video on social media shows the elephants, beautifully adorned with gold decorations for the religious gathering, suddenly began a tusk-to-tusk fight. One elephant started rotating and then charged at another elephant nearby. The violent altercation led to chaos as the crowd scattered to avoid being caught between the battling animals. However, the potential tragedy was averted when members of the elephant squad intervened and managed to separate the elephants. Despite the initial panic, the situation was brought under control, and no casualties were reported. The elephants quickly retreated from the scene, leaving the public in a state of shock and fear.
