Both, the bull and elephant are merged together in the sculpture. The horns of the bull serve as the tusk of the elephant and the ear of the bull is the mouth of the elephant when seen from different angles. They both have a common eye but their legs and bodies are completely different.
The bull, which is on the left side of the sculpture, is also known as the Nandi and the vehicle of Lord Shiva. The bull is mainly associated with qualities like honesty, faithfulness, stubbornness, fierceness, strength, and positivity. It is believed that the people who possess these qualities tend to see the bull first.
The elephant, which is on the right side of the sculpture, is the carrier of Lord Indra and it’s also associated with Goddess Lakshmi, the God of wealth. An elephant is associated with calmness, kindness, respect, loyalty, and intelligence. People who first see the elephant are considered to be kind, thoughtful, and considerate.
