Description Airavata is a mythological white elephant who carries the Hindu god Indra. It is also called 'Ardha-Matanga', meaning "elephant of the clouds"; 'Naga-malla', meaning "the fighting elephant"; and 'Arkasodara', meaning "brother of the sun". Airavata has four tusks and seven trunks and is spotless white. ( from Wikipedia )
In Thailand, Airavata is called Erawan (which has 3 heads). We have a giant statue of Erawan near Bangkok. (Type Erawan on Google to see how big and amazing the statue is.) I saw the statue and thought to myself "How interesting would it be if I put him back to mythological life by manipulating him with a heavenly background?" And here is the outcome.

Thank you for giving such a powerful scenario to Airavata. He does look like a Deva. I've used it to illustrate the Astika Parva from the Mahabharata. I hope you don't mind.
Here's the link:

Yeah, the darkness makes it kinda scary, and it has three heads, so I think that says it. But the purple colour make it seem so powerful ( I'm studiyng this, so we have a lot about colour meanings and that stuff ). But at the same time, it's cute
