2022-04-01: Pradeep Miyanapalawa is attached to the administrative wing of the Perahera office. His grandfather and father were respected native physicians who treated elephants decades ago. Pradeep outlined the role and task of the “ath panthiya”. He said, “At present, we have nine tuskers and three bull elephants. The chief Tusker who represents this Sacred Temple is Indi Raja who is 45-years-old. The tuskers are Sinha Raja, Thai Raja, Jana Raja, Migara, Kaveri Raja, Myan Raja, Buruma Raja and Pulasthi Raja. The other elephants are Kandula, Nalaka and Kadhira. Our chief Tusker Indi Raja was donated to the Dalada Maligawa in 1989 aged seven years. He was assigned for Perahera duty when he reached 18 years of age”. Indi Raja was donated by the late Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

All the tuskers serving the Dalada Maligawa receive the professional inspection of Professor Dangolla and his prudent team attached to the Peradeniya Veterinary Science Faculty.
