The Erawan Museum in Samut Prakan, Thailand, is renowned for its massive three-headed elephant statue, which stands as a symbol of the Hindu god Airavata. This impressive structure, made of bronze and standing 29 meters high, serves as both a museum and a cultural landmark. The museum's interior is divided into three levels, each representing different parts of the universe according to Hindu cosmology. The lower level, or underworld, features a collection of rare artifacts and antiques. The middle level, representing the human world, is adorned with beautiful stained glass and intricate designs. The upper level, or heaven, houses a sacred shrine and various religious relics.
