Indra is the king of the gods and ruler of the heavens. Indra is the god of thunder and rain and a great warrior, a symbol of courage and strength. Vayu is his friend and servant and the Vasus are his advisers. Indra's mount is the elephant Airavata and he also has a golden chariot drawn by ten thousand horses.
Airavata (Erawan) is a white elephant who carries Lord Indra.
Indra is described as being very powerful, with a reddish complexion, and with either two or four very long arms. His parents were the sky god Dyaus Pita and the earth goddess Prthivi; he was born fully grown and fully armed from his mother's side. His wife was Indrani, and his attendants were called the Maruts. His sons are named as Jayanta, Midhusa, Nilambara, Rbhus, Rsabha, Sitragupta, and, most importantly, Arjuna. More hymns in the Rig Veda (about 250) are dedicated to him than any other god by a sizable amount. He was known as a great drinker of Soma; sometimes he did this to draw strength, and when he did he grew to gigantic proportions to battle his enemies, but more often he merely wanted to get drunk. When not in his chariot, Indra rode on the great white elephant Airavata, who was always victorious, and who had four tusks which resembled a sacred mountain. He was given numerous titles including Sakra ("Power"), Vajri ("the Thunderer"), Purandara ("Destroyer of Cities"), Meghavahana ("Rider of the Clouds"), and Svargapati ("the Lord of Heaven").
According to the Matangalila, Airavata was born when Brahma sang sacred hymns over the halves of the egg shell from which Garuda hatched, followed by seven more male and eight female elephants. Prithu made Airavata king of all elephants.One of his names means "the one who knits or binds the clouds". This is because these elephants are capable of producing clouds.
Elephant is the mount of each one of the eight guardian deities who preside over the eight points of the compass. The deities presiding over the four cardinal and four intermediate points of the compass are:
1) East - Indra
2) Southeast - Agni
3) South - Yama
4) Southwest - Surya
5) West - Varuna
6) Northwest - Vayu
7) North - Kubera
8) Northeast - Soma
Each of these deities has an elephant that takes part in defense and protection of respective quarter. The chief among this is Airavata of Indra. He is also called 'Ardha-Matanga' meaning elephant of clouds, 'Naga-malla' meaning the fighting elephant and 'Arkasodara' meaning brother of sun. 'Abharamu' is the elephant wife of Airavata. Airavata has four tusks and seven trunks and is spotless white.
The connection of elephants with water and rain is emphasized in the mythology of Indra, who rides the elephant Airavata when he defeats Vritra. This mighty elephant reaches down his trunk into the watery underworld, sucks up its water, and then sprays it into the clouds, which Indra then causes to rain forth cool water, thereby linking the waters of the sky with those of the underworld. Airavata also stands at the entrance to Svarga, Indra's palace.
