Symbol of Wealth

The White Elephant

The white elephant is considered the most sacred animal, venerated for over 5,000 years and a symbol of the Thai royalty representing the prosperity of the country. It has also played a fundamental role in Buddhism; according to legend, a beautiful princess named Maya dreamed that a six-tusked white elephant entered her body, giving birth to the Buddha himself.

Currently, in the gardens of the Dusit Palace in Bangkok, the Royal Elephant Museum is located, a museum dedicated to the origins and history of this animal. Here, the ceremony for the presentation of the Order of the White Elephant takes place, one of Thailand's most important decorations, awarded by the Royal Family to individuals who promote the country's tradition and culture.

In some interpretations of Feng Shui, elephants are also linked to spirituality and connection with higher energies, as they are attributed the ability to protect and guide the inhabitants of the home in their spiritual quest. Placing an elephant figure in a meditation corner or in a space dedicated to reflection can strengthen this connection with the spiritual.
