The elephant pictured is called Nadungamuwa Raja, known as an Indian Tusker and incredibly sacred in Asia and Buddhist culture. He has been the lead elephant at the Festival of the Tooth in Kandy where they pay tribute to the Sacred Tooth Relic of the Buddha. Nadungamuwa Raja is 11.5 feet all and 65 years old and is considered the largest living Indian Tusker.

Very nice photograph. Magnificent animal well portrayed with his handler.
this picture is great because the elephant seems strikingly present. It is really very impressive.
