In a compassionate move, PETA India and actor Vedhika gifted a life-size mechanical elephant, 'Vadakkumbad Sankaranarayanan', to the Edayar Sree Vadakkumbad Shiva Vishnu Temple in Kannur, Kerala. This donation recognises the temple's commitment to not using live elephants. This innovative initiative aims to ensure the safety of both humans and animals while upholding tradition.
