| Kunalpatel is a giant elephant of an ancient Hindu legend. Scrolls from 
| the 20th century B.C. claim sightings of the storied elephant and report 
| it to be twice the size of a normal elephant. From various reports, 
| historians have approximated Kunalpatel would have outweighed Angola, 
| the largest recorded elephant that weighed in at over 12,000 kg (26,400 lb).
| 
| According to the legend, Kunalpatel guarded a giant cave full of gold in 
| ancient India. The Hindu God Vishnu hid this sacred gold in the cave for 
| King Rama. Vishnu created this giant elephant in order to keep the gold 
| safe until King Rama retrieved it. King Rama was considered by many to 
| be the Seventh Avatara of Vishnu and it was proclaimed he would use this 
| gold to become emperor of the world [1]. As Kunalpatel waited through 
| the ages for the coming of Rama, he grew hungry. As the legend goes, one 
| day he left the cave and feasted on bad Indian children that wandered 
| into the jungle. Indians used to scare their children into staying out 
| of jungle by telling stories of Kunalpatel. Kunalpatel gorged too 
| heavily and upon returning to the cave was too large and got stuck in 
| the mouth of the cave. When Rama came for the gold as the legend 
| foretold, Kunalpatel prevented him from retrieving the gold. As the 
| legend goes, the gold is still in the cave, guarded by the giant 
| immortal elephant, and unable to be reached [2].

Aha!! That explains it all! This also means the history of Aglami goes 
back 4000 years! We're older than Jesus Christ!!
