In Hinduism, Airavata is a white elephant who carries Lord Indra.
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.
