Four sculptors of Chalakudi, ie Santo, Jinesh, Prashant and Robin created robotic elephants. Its price is Rs. 5 lakhs for construction. At Irinjadapilli Shri Krishna Temple, Irinjadapilli Raman will be formally inaugurated on 26 February during the Nadyuthal festival (when presented to the elephant deity). This will be the first incident of its kind in Kerala.

Officials of Irinjadapilli Shri Krishna Temple claim that it is expensive and dangerous to take care of living elephants and perform. There is also a possibility of animal cruelty.

The administrators of the temple can reduce the cost and protect the animals from suffering by replacing them with robots. This is a great initiative that can serve as an example for other religious organizations.
