Buddhist White Elephant Fresco – Bagan, 2013

This 11th-century fresco depicts an elephant at a Buddhist temple in Bagan, Myanmar. According to Buddhist tradition, Buddha was born as a white elephant before being transformed into a human, which is why they are still strongly revered in Buddhist countries to this day. Elephants signify royal power and prosperity as well as wisdom, strength, and peace, all highly valued qualities in Buddhism.
