Sri Manakula Vinayagar Temple Elephant - LAKSHMI

Sri Manakula Vinayagar Temple was in existence before the French came and settled in Pondicherry i.e. before 1666. It has walls portraying forty different forms of Ganesha. The temple also has a smaller shrine dedicated to Lord Murugan, who is Ganesha’s younger brother. There is also a temple elephant, Lakshmi, who give blessing to the devotis.

Temple Elephant 'Lakshmi' at work, it blessess devotes and people give money to Lakshmi.

And Lakshmi hands over the money to her caretaker,.... dont know if we are making Lakshmi do the right thing. Moreover Lakshmi belongs to the Temple and they should be having enough money to feed her. "Gasesha - Help Lakshmi"

You have 2 shops in front of the temple and both the shops challenge to sell there flowers and coconuts to customers

Peaceful sellers :)
