THE KOMBAN

Komban means ‘the one with the largest tusk’ in Malayalam. He is the de facto protector of the elephant society and can live for up to 65 years.

The elephant in the emblem is very mature and stands immortalised – left-foot forward like a God. He wears a lotus-bud crown as he stands beneath an umbrella, armed with swords and shields.
