The peoples of India and China share a belief that Elephants are lucky creatures. Placed on shelves or by doorways they endure luck and longevity. Some people believe that stroking the trunk of a household elephant statue ensures success in business or on a journey. In China elephant statues are often made of jade, thought to have its own luck providing powers.
Elephants may have garnered their reputation for magic powers from a number of sources. They are large and powerful, intelligent, useful, and long-lived and so have become a symbols of strength, wisdom, happiness, and longevity. They are religious symbols in the Hindu faith. The birth of Buddha was announced by a white elephant and Ganesha is an elephant-headed god of wisdom and path-clearing. Chinese Buddhists believe in a folklore being (Guan Yin) who dresses in white and rides an elephant. Guan Yin helps in time of need and represents charity and pity. The Chinese also have a saying that equates to happiness: "To ride an elephant." In Sri Lanka, crawling under an elephant's belly protects you from "bad planetary effects" and the evil eye while driving away fears.
