EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the 1990s, a Mahout, or elephant caretaker, tenderly bathes a majestic elephant in the tranquil waters of the Maha Oya River, located near the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka. The Mahout, with a gentle touch, splashes water over the elephant's massive body, providing relief from the heat and dust. The elephant, with its powerful tusks and large ears, appears to relax and enjoy the soothing experience. The elephant's massive trunk reaches out to grab handfuls of water, spraying it playfully into the air. The serene expression on the elephant's face conveys a sense of bliss and ease, as it lies down in the river, taking in the calming surroundings. The Mahout's connection with the elephant is evident in the way he cares for the animal, providing it with the comfort and care it needs. This heartwarming moment between man and beast is a testament to the deep bond that exists between them. The Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, located in the district of Kegalle, has been a sanctuary for elephants since 1975, providing a safe haven for orphaned and injured elephants. This image, taken in 1994, captures a moment of tranquility and relaxation in the life of these magnificent creatures.
