A farmer in the Dharmapuri district of Tamil Nadu heard the cries of the animal in the well on November 19 and alerted local authorities. 

Despite the depth of the well, the water inside was shallow and was pumped out to make it easier to access the 25-year-old male elephant.

The rescue team checked the elephant was healthy before he was then sedated by a vet and lifted out. 

Concerned villagers dropped banana leaves down the well for the elephant to eat as the rescue attempt got underway, according to local media reports. 

Two excavators, trucks and a crane were used in the operation, which brought the elephant out, unharmed a little after midnight.
