Symbolic Meaning of the Elephant

Elephants are grand creatures that are a symbol of strength, wisdom, good fortune and peace.

Throughout homes across the world we see statues, tapestries and pictures of elephants. While elephants are beautiful, they also are thought to bring good luck and protection. Wearing jewelry depicting an elephant is a great reminder to be resilient and peaceful.

Elephants are represented in the form of Gods because of their appealing nature. They possess desirable qualities of being gentle and loyal. They are also easily the largest and strongest animal in India.

In the Hindu culture, elephants play a powerful role in their spiritual lifestyle. Hindus worship a deity called Ganesha. Ganesha is depicted with the head of an elephant, which symbolizes strength and intellectual power. Like the elephant, Ganesha has large ears which is a powerful tool for listening and determining the good from the bad.
