ELEPHANT EFFIGIES
Elephants are an integral part of everyday life in India and many other Asian countries – not just the living ones, but also artistic renditions. They appear on paintings, tapestries and clothes, in the form of sculptures and statuettes, or in the scenes of temple reliefs.
Elephants are seen as the bearers of powerful spiritual qualities. They symbolize strength, wisdom, courage, patience, the ability to overcome obstacles and purify the mind. Their portraits are intended to help people follow the right path that will lead them to their objective.
This is why Elephant Valley is decorated with dozens of brass, wooden and stone sculptures of elephants and the deities associated with them, all of which imported directly from India.
