A herd of seven elephants entered Pujariguda village in Parvathipuram district of Andhra Pradesh for drinking water and some of them quenched their thirst through water kept in buckets and a container.
The visuals showed tuskers drinking water stored in two buckets by the villagers. An elephant is also seen going to a makeshift container on the edge of a village road.
A group of seven elephants, including a baby elephant, reached the village on Wednesday morning. Villagers tried to shoo them away but the elephants made their way into the village.
