A brass elephant Pavai Diya (also known as Deepalakshmi or Deepa Lady on Elephant) is a unique and highly auspicious decorative item that combines multiple powerful symbols in Hindu tradition.
Elephants are deeply revered in Indian culture and Hinduism, symbolizing:
- Strength and Stability: Elephants represent immense physical and mental strength, endurance, and unwavering determination. Their presence is believed to bring stability, resilience, and fortitude to the household, helping residents face challenges with confidence.
- Wisdom and Knowledge: Elephants are associated with wisdom, intelligence, and a calm, discerning nature. Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, has an elephant head, further emphasizing this connection. Having an elephant symbol can enhance focus, decision-making abilities, and foster intellectual growth.
- Prosperity and Abundance: Elephants, especially with their trunks raised (which is common for prosperity), are considered powerful symbols for attracting wealth, good fortune, and financial abundance. They are often linked with Goddess Lakshmi, who is sometimes depicted with elephants showering water on her (Gajalakshmi).
