Barana (also spelt Bharana) was a regal tusker of about 35 years with tusks about four feet long, often seen around Kalawewa National Park and Namal Uyana, where he drew many visitors. He was found dead in the Namal Uyana area of Galkiriyagama on 26 July 2022, killed by an illegal power line. In November 2023 wildlife officials dug up his buried head and tusks so they could be preserved for public display.
