The day Dalada came to worship
This is a picture taken on the last day when King Raja Elephant came to Dalada Palace. It means Raja died on July 16th, 1988 at around 10.15 in the morning. The last time Raja Elephant came to Dalada Palace was on July 9th or 10th of that year before his death.

Raja's elephant met with an accident on January 1, 1987. The last time Raja went to Dalada parade was that year.
Anyway, after the Raja gradually became unwell, Diyavadana stayed for several months with the help of an attic in front of Nilame's official residence. During that time, the elephant was taken for a walk twice a week. When the Raja was untied, he came directly to the Dalada Palace. It is very difficult to come because of unwellness. He walked from Nilame's official residence and slowly approached the entrance of the palace.
After that, the Raja goes up the stairs to the place where the casket is tied to the perahara inside the palace. After a while, the monks of Teva, Nilam and other servants of the palace come and give the fruits to the Raja. without
Even when the Raja is in such a state of unhappiness, Vahalkadin enters and goes to the place where the casket is tied without any direction. There is no order or mission from Seneviratne who looked after the Raja. Diavadana Nilameth advised to let the Raja go his way. The Raja goes to the place of tying the casket like that as a habit. Even when the Raja is unsettled by the habit of carrying the casket for many years. Going to that place.
This picture was taken on the last day when the Raja came to the palace. After releasing the Raja who was tied in the attic of the official house, the Raja slowly came to the place where the casket was tied. Blessings were given. Nilam also came and gave them fruits and milk rice.. But when the king reached the place where the casket was tied inside the palace and went back with great difficulty, the prelates and the other people there felt a great emotion. All of them were wet with tears.
After a while, without any guidance, Raja got off the vehicle and traveled alone to Mahamalu. Raja stopped after going a short distance. That was the last time Raja came to Mahamalu.
It was at that time that this picture was taken. The King was followed by Diyawadana Nilame Neranjan Wijayaratne and Kandy High Commissioner Mr. SM Thennakoon. In this picture, the Kandy High Commissioner is behind the Diyawadana Nilame. In this picture, you can see the places where medicine has been applied to the wounds on the Raja's body.
Then the Raja turned back to the other side and was looking towards Patthirippuwa. After waiting for a while, the Raja came forward. Then he took the Raja back to Nilame's official residence. That was the last time the Raja came to the palace.

He never came back to Raja's palace. After the Raja's unwell condition increased more and more, Raja Elephant, who went down in history by carrying the casket in Dalada Perahara for about fifty years, breathed his last a week after worshiping Dalada for the last time.
. I have written a lot of information about Raja Aeth King before. This is the information related to this photo that I saw on the Internet.
