A one-tusked elephant, described as the most docile tusker in the Sri Dalada Maligawa stables. In 1977, when three Pinnawala tuskers were put up for sale, former Health Minister Vimala Kannangara bought him and Vasana for 25,000 rupees each and gifted Ekadantha to the Maligawa. One of his two small tusks decayed and fell off when he was young, so he carried the golden casket only in the day perahera; his first procession was on Karthika Mangalya day in 1978.
