A tusker ran amok during the annual festivities at the Euttmanoor Mahadeva temple here early today, but none was injured. The mahout, who was atop the elephant, had a miraculous escape as he was pulled to safety by local people from atop a gopuram by dropping a rope, visuals aired by television channels showed. The incident occurred at 3 AM this morning. The elephant went on a rampage reportedly after being attacked by another tusker next to it. According to legend, Pandavas and sage Vyasa had offered worship at the temple.
