   We all know elephant is an important part of temple rituals at the time of festivals all over Kerala, but in the case of Trichambaram Temple we couldn't find any elephant nearby the temple.  When Sree Krishna and Balarama went to the Kamsa's palace, Lore recounts how the royal elephant of Kamsa charged and intending to defeat him. It is because Krishna had a strong aversion to elephants.
