Tulsi Rani dreamed of having elephants at home. Farmer Dulal Chandra Roy lost his way while realizing such a divine dream of his wife. Finally, he sold his three bighas of arable land and bought an elephant for Tk 1.65 lakh.
The incident took place in the village of Ratidhar Deuti in the Panchagram union of Lalmonirhat Sadar upazila. Not just elephants, he had to buy horses, swans, ram goats and other animals to fulfill his wife’s divine dream.
After buying elephants, a crowd of onlookers grows in this farmer’s house.
According to the locals, farmer Dulal Chandra Roy used to grow crops on four bighas of land and ran his family. He is survived by his wife Tulsi Rani and two children. Tulsi married farmer Dulal 20 years ago. She bought an elephant to sell her farmland and fulfill her dream out of love for her wife. A mahout also had to maintain a monthly salary of Tk 15,000 to manage the elephant.
Narendra Chandra Barman, 65, a village resident, told The Daily Star: “I have seen elephants at the zamindar home before. The zamindar used to ride elephants. But for the first time in my life I saw an elephant in a farmer’s house. Raising elephants is hard work. I don’t know how Dulal did this.
Atowar Rahman, 55, who came from the Nazim Khan area of Rajarhat upazila in Kurigram to see the elephants, said: Tying an elephant at a farmer’s house is a really rare sight. I don’t know how long Dulal Chandra, a blind farmer, will be able to feed an elephant with the love of his wife. However, his love for his wife is an example in today’s age.
Farmer Dulal Chandra Roy (48) said: ‘Not just elephants. To fulfill his wife’s divine dream, he had to buy various animals, including horses, swans, rams, and goats. Tulsi loves and regularly serves these animals at home. He is serving and worshiping these animals according to the instructions given in the divine dream. ‘
He added: “For the past few years, Tulsi has had a divine dream and has become a priest in his own home. Several temples have been installed in the house.
I have tried to fulfill my wife’s divine dream. Now I have to pay for the elephants’ food and the mahout’s salary. Still, I’m doing my best to love my wife. ‘
Tulsi Rani, wife of farmer Dulal Chandra, told The Daily Star, “I regularly serve and adore the animals in the house. God will provide food for us and the animals. We will all be fine together. ‘
Elephant mahout Shariful Islam from Patuakhali said that he came here with a monthly salary of 15,000 taka. It is the owner’s responsibility to stay and eat. Two young men from the village are being trained in elephant management. He will leave as soon as his training is over.
