The raised trunk of an elephant has always been a sign of good luck. In India, after the puja (prayer), an elephant may be brought into the temple courtyard where it gently blesses devotees by tapping them on the head with its trunk. People consider this an auspicious gesture, symbolizing the blessings of Lord Ganesha. The spiritual energy of an elephant is often associated with strength, patience, and wisdom.
