In Indian society (and many other cultures) elephants are believed to bring good luck and prosperity, symbolizing courage, longevity, patience, honor, mental strength, earthiness and responsibility. In India, elephants are a sacred animal, representing Lord Ganesh, the most important god, known to impart perfect wisdom and remover of obstacles.
