Three months have passed since our dear Chandi left us.
On the 5th of July, exactly three months ago today, Chandi, the legendary elephant of Galgamuwa, passed away after being injured in a battle with another elephant. On that day, another bitter day in our lives, Chandi was found dead in his usual watering hole.
It is strongly suspected that a wild elephant, possibly a tusker, had attacked him. The elephant’s sharp tusks had pierced Chandi’s heart, neck, kidneys, and many other parts of his body. In the end, he passed away lying in the very watering hole he loved most and spent most of his life in.
Chandi, you were a legend. A great hero who fought for his homeland. Even after being captured twice and taken to Horowpatana prison, you returned to Galgamuwa. You never abandoned your homeland and breathed your last breath in your homeland. You were a true hero of Galgamuwa. We will always remember what we did for you, how we fought to protect you. Although we protected you from humans, we couldn’t overcome nature. You passed away with dignity, subject to the laws of the wild.
Dear Chandi, farewell, my friend
