Hampi - Lakshmi - Part 1

In Hampi Bazaar, the Virupaksha temple, like most major temples, has a temple elephant called Lakshmi.  Every morning she's taken out for a short walk down the ghat steps at the nearby river to have a bath & a scrub.  Some days she really loves getting in the water by herself without the mahout and just splash around.  I'm making two blog entries of this event one morning I went to watch - one is of going to the water, the other will be of her bath.  Nothing like watching a lady have a bath!
Anyway, here's part 1.








Finally!

First a good trunk scritch on a rock.

Then just playing around in the water.....







More to come soon.....
