President Maithripala Sirisena offered a Tusker elephant named Pulatisi Raja, to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalanda Maligawa) in Kandy, yesterday (8th Sept.). Myanmar has donated this Tusker elephant to the President.

The President presented the Scroll to the Diyawadana Nilame Pradeep Nilanga Dela during a ceremony held at the historic Magul Maduwa.

This Tusker elephant donated to Sri Lanka by Myanmar, responding to a request made by the President to State Counselor of Myanmar and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Aung San Suu Kyi, when he attended the BRICS-BIMSTEC outreach summit held in Goa, India.

This Tusker elephant named “Pan Shwe Maung” in Myanmar is 24 year old and 8 feet high.

This Tusker Elephant arrived from Myanmar on August 18, and kept in a special enclosure within the premises of the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.
