Commemorative stamps for the 25th Asian International Stamp Exhibition
Erawan (Airavata), the multi-headed white elephant of Indra, symbolizes clouds, rain, and prosperity. Usually depicted with three heads, he is a prominent figure in Thai art, temples, and folklore, and lends his name to landmarks such as the Erawan Museum and Erawan Waterfall. As a royal and cultural emblem, Erawan remains a powerful symbol of Thailand’s mythic heritage. |
