Erawan monument Samut Prakhan

This three-headed elephant is based on the mythological Airavata and built by a well-known antique collector, Lek Viriyapant who wished to preserve his priceless antique collection as a heritage to the next generation.
The design came up to the elephant which symbolizes the country and is in the Hindu mythology as well. Besides from acting as a vehicle of God Indra, the three-headed elephant is built standing on a sphere acts like a globe, which signified that he is protecting the earth and the valuable sacred objects placed inside.
Before the construction completed, people gathered here to worship the massive symbol, sacred objects and the legend of how Viriyapant valued his collection.
