I think the one who saw it in person can tell better. Leave it to Ajit. :)
That's the problem with insects, they are not easy to identify like mammals. Sometimes subtle diferences can imply diferent species or even genus. I know can be frustrating.
mmm, it seems to me the upper horn of the picture is bifurcated. Probably is not the same specie but is probably close related
I think it's just the two different angles of the pictures. I see the same horns on both.
See this too. It's an elephant. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/711...
Enema pan beetles legs look different and back shape also different. Horns also different.

No...This one is Enema pan only. Check out the wiki link I gave with the ID.
Hi Harsha isn't it called Elephant beetle...?
