GAJARAJA KULAPATHY MANGALAMKUNNU GANAPATHY

"GAJA RAJA KULAPATHY MANGALAMKUNNU GANAPATHY" NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION AMONG ELEPHANT LOVERS OF KERALA. HE IS OFTEN REFERRED WITH DIFFERENT NAMES SUCH AS "CHETTIYAARUDE GANAPATHY" "PRATHYAKSHA GANAPATHY" etc. BUT THERE IS NO DENYING THE FACT THAT HE IS ONE OF THE MOST DECORATED ELEPHANT IN KERALA HISTORY. AND HIS STORIES ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AND MESMERISING AS THE GREAT ELEPHANT HIMSELF. HE IS TRULY A "LAKSHNOTHAMAN" AND IF YOU EVER GET YOUR HAND ON THE GREAT BOOK "MATHANGALEELA" (which refers to the qualities of the ideal elephant) GANAPATHY WILL BE HAVING ALL THE QUALITIES DESCRIBED IN THAT BOOK. HE WAS INITIALLY WITH POBSON GROUP AND AT THAT TIME KNOWN BY THE NAME "THENGANA GANAPATHY" LATER BOUGHT BY FAMOUS FILM ACTOR BABU NAMBOOTHIRI. AND EVENTUALLY CAME TO MANGALAMKUNNU FAMILY AND BECAME THEIR NO.1 ELEPHANT. AFTER THE ARRIVAL OF GANAPATHY MANGALAMKUNNU BROTHERS STARTED BECOMING FAMOUS AND HE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THEIR BEST EVER ELEPHANT.

WITH AGE NEARING 70, HE STILL LOOKS AWESOME. AND REGULARLY PARTICIPATES IN ALL MAJOR PROGRAMS...THOSE WHO LOVE RESPECT AND ADORE GANAPATHY ARE WELCOME TO JOIN THIS GROUP AND SHARE VALUABLE PICS AND information.....!!!!
