Mahout in english i guess..Yaanai pagan in tamil

A mahout is a person in India, almost always a male, who rides an elephant. The word "mahout" is derived from the Hindi word - "mahaut". A mahout will usually start riding his elephant at a very young age and they will work together for as long as they are both alive.

check it out, but I think it is a mahout. I know mahout's take care of elephants in India and other places in Asia, but I think the term extends to an elephant jockey.

The window says "smoke mahout" so it was probably a 1920's cigarette brand. All I know is that a Mahout is the driver of an elephant.
