This wooden elephant is an auspicious animal in Indian mythology. This elephant stands as a symbol of wisdom and strength. It is not a coincidence that the elephant-headed deity is always invoked before any activity if you wish to achieve success.
The elephant represents wisdom, divine knowledge and royal power. It is associated with goddess Lakshmi, Brihaspati, Shachi and Indra . Indra was said to ride on a flying elephant named Airavata, who was made the King of all elephants by Lord Indra. According to the Karma Purana, when the gods churned the ocean of milk, Airavata was one of the fourteen treasures that emerged. He was the first elephant and was claimed by Indra. Since then elephants have been the symbol of royal power.
