Sultanate gets two elephants

YOGYAKARTA: The sultanate of Yogyakarta received two elephants
from the Way Kambas elephant training center in Lampung.

The elephants were received by Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X at
a ceremony on Friday. The male elephant was later named Kyai Ajar
and the female Nyai Badra.

The sultan said he had ordered the elephants from Lampung to
remind his subjects of the symbolistic nature of such creatures
as elephants in Javanese culture.(mds)
