A video of an elephant getting agitated just as a newly-married couple visited the Guruvayur temple in Kerala is getting viral. In the video that has been posted on Instagram by Wedding Mojito, a photographer shows how the elephant got aggressive and attacked a mahout.

The incident took place in Thrissur, where the Guruvayur temple is located, on November 10. In the video, the newlyweds can be seen reaching the inner courtyard of the temple for a photo shoot and the elephant was standing right behind them.

As the cameraman started clicking the photos of the bride and the groom, the elephant turned aggressive and attacked a mahout, who was standing there. The elephant tried to pick up the man using its trunk, but he fell down. The man quickly got up and tried to escape. Whereas the second mahout, sitting on top of the elephant, handled the situation by controlling it.

Later on, the groom recalled the incident and spoke about his experience in the video."We were posing for a photo and all of a sudden, everyone started running and screaming. She grabbed my hand and ran," the man said.
