Home of Elephants...
We have visited Punnathurkotta a sanctuary for elephants maintained by Guruvayoor Devaswam. Here more than 50 elephants which were donated (in actual sense given as offerings to the Lord Guruvayoorappan) by devotees of Guruvayoorappan. This place was a palace under the 'Punnathoor Rajas'. This 10 acre compound is about 3kms away from Guruvayoor which is situated in Trichur District in Kerala. All the facilities are provided for the well being of the elephants. There is a temple in this compound also.
