पुलु किसी - Pulu Kisi

पुलूं किसी (Pulu Kisi)

God of Rain, Indra's vahan, Pulu Kisi, is the elephant, Airavat (ऐरावत हात्ती). The elephant-shaped mask is kept at Kilagal, Kathmandu, Nepal and is taken out in the festival of Indrajatra.

Myths has it that Airavat had searched vigorously for Indra, who was tied up by the jyapus of Kathmandu when in pursuit of a blue-mimosa (Parijat flower). And since then, in every Indrajatra the elephant runs with passion in different localities of the inner city of Kathmandu.
