People are cheering because its a magnificent sight and a timely event happening only once a year.
What do you mean not captive? That animal is captive unless its living in a jungle. Im an indian hindu, that animal is definitely uncomfortable. Elephants have really sensitive ears so all that noise is extreme. Our culture is about respecting and worshiping these forms of god that today has turned into exploitation which should end
@@neckashi6971 im an indian-hindu aswell. I think you got a point. I live in kerala where these elephant events happen. But i guess they are used to it. They must have been trained ever since they were young.
@@thiagocayun3263 in indian culture and hinduism animals are seen as companions of gods, almost every deity has their companion for example, lord shiva has the bull named nandi, bheru ji has a dog, durga ma has tiger, ganpati has mouse, indra has elephant...they all symbolize something and are worshipped

Because this elephant has special place in the hearts of Keralites that's why this elephant is treated like that & this elephants name is " thechikotukavu ramachandran"
Yeah bro keep your words to yourselve this elephant is used to this and trained it is treated well and carries Hindu God's idols you don't know much about Indian culture
Put an African lion in front of a Bengal Tiger. It's a joke. Or an African Rhino in front of an Indian Rhino - again a joke. Or an African Bison in front of an Indian Bison - an even bigger joke. Or an African crocodile in front of an Indian one - an even bigger joke. The list goes on.

@@NirodhaSriLankan Height: Both Millangoda Raja and Thechikkottukavu Ramachandran are of similar height, standing at about 10.5 feet (3.2 meters) at the shoulder.

It is a captive elephant. There is no possible retort you can counter with to this fact.
How is the animal not captive? He is clearly not living in the wild
It might not be the smartest idea to bring an elephant to a crowded noisy plaza
Es parte de una celebración tonto
It's royal elephant
Well atleast its better than bringing guns to school in your country

This elephant looks stressed as hell. Look at its ears flapping. I bet when it lifts its trunk it's trying to beg for people to make some silence.
😂😂that's because you don't the basic facts about Indian elephants, they really enjoying it, see he salutes people.
😂😂 when you don't know nothing but still wanna be cool 😂😂😂
They flap their ears to cool themselves down. If an elephant was stressed, it would be swaying from side to side.

Animals in india are treated with all the facilities unlike the west where they are born to be slaughtered
