Shower facility installed for temple elephant in Tiruchy

A shower bath that very few people get to have these days, let alone a jumbo, in this sweltering heat, considering the shortage of water.

To help a temple elephant beat the heat, a giant-size shower facility has been installed by the Jambukeswarar temple here.

According to the temple officials, the facility was donated by a Chennai-based firm.

The shower has 20 pipes constructed in a square pattern in the elephant's enclosure
