Description
In Hinduism, each of the divine gods and Goddesses have their own animal escorts. These are also called as Vahanas (animal vehicles). The literal meaning of a Vahana is something which carries, or pulls. While different Gods are associated with different Vahanas or animal escorts, Lord Indra, the god of gods, is associated with a white elephant called Airavata.
