In Buddhist legend, Buddha’s mother dreamt that a white elephant entered her womb during her pregnancy; the royal sages interpreted this to mean that her child was destined for greatness as a universal monarch or buddha.
The white elephant has since been considered a sacred symbol and represents authority, royalty, compassion, truth and kindness.
In Christian symbolism the Elephant is an icon of temperance, patience, and chastity.
