Kalana is an elephant belonging to the historic Devinuwara Sri Upulvan Devalaya. In September 2018 the Department of Wildlife Conservation took him to the Ridiyagama Safari Park for medical treatment, where vets washed, treated and fed him and planned to let him roam the park freely. Wildlife officials also filed a police complaint against the Devalaya’s Basnayake Nilame over the elephant.
