In many Southeast Asian cultures, keeping animal statues at home is a common practice, and the benefits of elephant statue Vastu are incredible, as they are considered mascots of good luck. “In Vastu, elephants are associated with Lord Ganesha and Gautama Buddha because they represent the energy of clearance—eliminating difficulties and obstacles,” observes Shilpa Khurana, a Vastukar from Delhi.
Entrance Elephant Statuettes
It is typical to find two gigantic stone elephants with their trunks raised, bracing the entrances of many ancient Hindu and Southeast Asian buildings. “In Vastu, elephant statues are to be placed in the north and the south, facing toward the centre of the building, representing popularity, abundance, and strength,” Khurana says.
Red Elephant
The Red Elephant is a symbol of fame, recognition, strength, abundance, and success. Placing it on the floor in the southern area of your building—facing the centre—is believed to enhance your reputation and bring recognition in your area of work. “It is said to help your firm, company, or organization achieve fame and a strong, well-regarded reputation,” the Vastukar says.
White Elephant
“In common parlance, a white elephant may symbolise a burden,” Khurana says. “But in Vastu, when placed in the north or west direction near the entrance of a home, it attracts good luck and protection,” she continues. The elephant should face the centre of the building.
Silver Elephant
The silver elephant is considered a powerful symbol of good luck, prosperity, and strength. When placed in the north, facing the center of your home or space, this elephant statue Vastu is believed to invite positive energy, success, and fortune. The north is associated with the career and life path in Vastu, so placing the elephant in this direction can help enhance these areas of your life. Its presence is also said to bring stability, wisdom, and overall happiness.
Brass, Green, & Black Elephants
Brass elephants are fairly popular in India. They are said to harmonize a living space, enhancing positivity and attracting good vibes. Need some motivation? A green elephant, when placed in the east, brings enhanced power, strength, and vigour. Lastly, placing a black elephant in the north sector of a home or office is said to attract prosperity and success.
The Elephant’s Trunk
“The position of the elephant’s trunk is a mudra or postulation, and plays a significant role in determining its impact,” the Vastu consultant feels. A raised trunk is considered very auspicious. Just as humans wave their hands in greeting, elephants raise their trunks to express happiness and greet friends. An elephant with its trunk down symbolises longevity, fertility, and stability. Placing it in the north or east direction of a space promotes stability and harmony. In the bedroom, it serves as a remedy for infertility, fostering positivity for couples wishing to become parents. When placed at an entrance, an elephant with a raised trunk welcomes positive energy and good luck into the home. In a living room, it attracts positive energy and prosperity. Placed in a bedroom, it strengthens the bond with a lover or spouse.
A Pair Of Elephants
“A pair of elephants is believed to enhance and restore the bond between romantic couples,” Khurana concludes. Placing them in the bedroom is thought to promote harmony and strengthen relationships.
