According the Thai Hindu Mythology, one of the names of Airavata in Thailand is Erawan, which is a massive elephant that can have up to thirty-three heads. It's typically depicted with multiple tusks. Some statues show Indra, who is the king of the kingdom of Tatimata Heaven.
The elephant symbolized Bangkok when it was established as the capital of the new Kingdom of Thailand, which was founded by Indra. It is also associated with the former Kingdom of Laos and the Lan Xang in Laos. The latter was also referred to as the "three-headed elephant" due to its royal flag being used.
The massive white elephant with seven trunks and four tusks became the steed of Indra, who was the god of war and thunder. According to Thais, Erawan has 33 heads. However, there is no mention of the elephant having even three heads in Hindu mythology.
Each of the 33 heads of Erawan bears seven tusks each. There are seven lotus ponds, each with seven pads, each with seven blossoms, and each with seven petals. On each petal you have a dancing angel and each of the seven angels has seven ladies-in-waiting. In other words Erawan has a total of 231 tusks, 1,617 ponds, 11,319 lotus pads, 79,233 lotus blossoms, 3,882,417 angels and 27,176,919 ladies-in-waiting.
