The giant Indian elephants went rogue in the frenzied attack which saw them go on a vicious stampede and throw people around.
The harrowing video shows the elephants in a clear state of panic and fear as they frantically crash into the walls and even knock over a whole building.
Witnesses said one of the elephants smashed into the other after fireworks sounded nearby.
This caused the pair to smash into an office building being used by the festival organisers.
Footage shows the moment the roof tiles begin to break off and plunge onto the floor below as the wild duo slammed into the wall.
As they quickly turned around, the structure broke off into pieces as debris flew off into the air.
Horrified onlookers were then left in the direct war path of the frightened animals as they sprinted away from the scene.
People can be seen miraculously moving around on the ground below the collapsed building.
Screaming locals can be seen in the clip running for their lives as the chained up elephants gallop towards a crowd.
At one point, a man who was clinging on to the larger nelly can be seen plunging towards the ground after losing his grip.
He smashes into the ground below and manages to narrowly avoid being trampled on as the elephants continue to run.
Officials said that the terrifying incident took place at around 6pm on Thursday at the Manakulangara temple in Kuruvangad, Koyilandy.
They confirmed two women and a man had been tragically found dead.
Another 30 people were injured with dozens being rushed to Kozhikode Medical College Hospital and Koyilandy Taluk Hospital.
Among those injured includes a ten-year-old girl.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan extended his condolences to the victims’ families and those injured after the tragic incident.
Authorities have since opened up investigations into the wild attacks and are looking into whether there was a breach of the Kerala Captive Elephants (Management and Maintenance) Rules.
A preliminary investigation has revealed the temple had obtained permission to showcase both elephants as part of a parade.
But State Forest Minister AK Saseendran said if any rules around their usage was broken then organisers will face strict action.
Officials maintained that the situation is being closely monitored and efforts are being made to ensure that all those affected receive the necessary medical attention and care.
The tragic incident happened a day after a wild elephant attacked and murdered a 27-year-old man in the Wayanad district early on Wednesday morning.
World’s worst elephant attacks
THE SERIAL KILLER
In 2006, an elephant named Osama bin Laden slaughtered 27 people in northeast India before he was finally shot dead.
He was accused of savagely killing 14 villagers in just one month.
The 10ft beast terrorised villagers for two years, destroying hundreds of homes and crushing dozens of people to death – prompting locals to name him after the evil al-Qaeda leader.
Charles Mutisya, 73, was brutally killed while tending to his farm at 7am one morning in December.
The elderly man was found with his “intestines hanging outside the stomach”.
TEMPLE OF DOOM
A temple worker was stomped to death by a wild elephant while taking a stroll In Hua Hin, Thailand.
Prasit Kanchanasilanon, 58, was found lying face-down in a pool of blood in front of the monks’ living quarters, according to the Bangkok Post.
He had suffered a fractured skull and a number of other horrific injuries.
CRUSHING BLOW
A furious elephant crushed a man to death after a crowd of workers teased a herd passing through a tea plantation with loud noises.
The swarm of workers started taunting and chasing the elephants in a bid to scare them off by shouting and honking car horns.
After darting towards the workers, the huge Indian elephant made a beeline for a man who had stumbled by the roadside while trying to escape before trampling him to death.
PAIR OF WILD BEASTS
At least one man was killed in southern India when two wild elephants went on a three-hour rampage leaving behind a trail of carnage.
A 55-year-old security guard was trampled to death after he came out of his house to see what was going on amid the widespread panic.
Horrific footage showed the bloodied body of the man after being repeatedly gored, butted and trampled in a doorway.
