Do you know that there is a herd of colourful elephants in Little India, Singapore? From big elephants to small little ones, you can find different elephants decorated with colourful artwork. This post is about our hunting of elephant sculptures in Little India!
Little India, which is one of the historical districts of Singapore is one of the tourist attractions that has many things to offer. From colourful street arts to delicious food there are many things to do in Little India including vibrant temples. These colourful elephant sculptures are another attraction in Hindoo Road, Little India.
Recently I shared this colours of Little India post to feature some of the colourful attractions that anyone can enjoy. A walking tour is one of the best ways to experience Little India’s culture and history.
We found these colourful elephant sculptures on Hinddo road every time we visited our favourite eating place ‘Palaniyappa Restaurant’. As I mentioned in this post too, we see these elephant sculptures on most of our Little India visits. Finally, I thought it is better to share some of the photos as a blog post to share the vibrant colours, artwork and beauty of Little India with the world.
If you like posing, these elephants will give you a beautiful and colourful photo opportunity too 🙂
I found this little elephant is so adorable. But, someone has forgotten to throw his drink cans into a dustbin.
I found that the artwork of these elephants is done by ZERO, one of the famous street art artists in Singapore. It is named as Makara.
Palaniyappa Restaurant which is one of our favourite restaurants in Little India is located just opposite these elephant sculptures. I mentioned it in this post as well. We visit this restaurant frequently, and we found these colourful elephants too.
Don’t forget to look at the sidewall of the building this restaurant is located. It is one of the famous murals of Little India.
Working Class Hero – Mural by ZERO
”Working Class Hero”, is a mural done by ZERO who is a popular artist in Singapore who has contributed great art pieces. This mural is done as a tribute to the migrant workers in Singapore.
Location of the mural and Palaniyappa Restaurant: 11 Hindoo Road (Carpark)
Location of the Elephant sculptures: Just opposite the Palaniyappa Restaurant at Hindoo Road

Thanks Angie for visiting and commenting..
I love this little herd! The pink elephant is delightful (though I do wish people would pick up their rubbish).
These little elephants are so cute. Yes, I was shocked too because in Singapore, usually, people don’t throw rubbish here and there. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
So beautiful and so colorful. A huge Awww.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. ♥
Thanks for visiting and commenting, Sandee. Have a great week!
Love all those colourful elephants and the beautiful mural too.
Many years ago we had a “cows exhibition” here in Perth with small cow sculptures painted by famous Australian artists.
Singapore is on my to visit list, so many interesting things to see. I’ll be flying to Europe via Singapore, but just a few hours at the airport.
A “cows exhibition” with colourfully painted cows sounds interesting. There are many places to visit in Singapore even in airport transit. Changi airport itself is with attractions such as Jewel. Be sure to visit these attractions.

Hello, Amila
I just love the cute and colorful elephants. They are wonderful sculptures.
Great mural and message to the working class. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Your photos of the little elephants are awesome! They make me want to visit.
These are so cool. So bright and colourful.
So colorful and fun. Our town recently just added some bird statues, but nothing compared to these beauties. Thanks for sharing.
Lovethe elephants! How cute! #SundayBest
These elephants are wonderful. Very artistic!
I know there are traditions there and also that Indian elephants are very important to Hindus because they believed they were the embodiment of Lord Ganesh. Ganesha or Ganesh is a four-handed, elephant-headed Hindu deity who is the lord of good fortune, removes obstacles and represents success. Many tourists will probably come to see and film or photograph these beautiful elephants. Zero are a wonderful artist.
Those elephants are so cute.
What a great idea, and such a colorful one.
I love the elephants! We sometimes have similar sculpture trails in the UK and I always enjoy them. I haven’t seen one for a few years now though.
A colorful group of elephants for sure – delightful!
From cute to grand – they are awesome! Thanks for linking up and for sharing this post with #MySundaySnapshot.
I like elephants, and these statues are so wonderful to see!
Thank you for taking part in the My Sunday Best meme.
I love these elephant sculptures, so colourful and pretty. Such a shame someone chose to litter the area though.
Thanks so much for joining in with #MMBC. 🙂
What beautiful elephants. We did visit that area in Singapore, but didn’t spot them there.
