An elephant went berserk in the Tirupathi Balaji temple in Andhra Pradesh during a ceremonial procession on Monday night. Luckily no devotee was injured.
The incident took place during the Dusshera Brahmotsav at the temple when one of the four elephants in the procession ran amok. The elephant charged at the crowds who had gathered to watch the procession.
Temple authorities claimed that the elephant was a young one and probably got scared when some bells rang loudly and the crowds started shouting. The elephant attacked the crowd.
The other three elephants in the procession were fully grown adults so they did not get disturbed by the crowd, the authorities said. It took a while for the young elephant to be controlled by the mahout.
